This is a cross sectional study, conducted in 45 pregnant women coming for antenatal check ups in the eastern regional hospitals in Nepal. Hamilton -Depression Scale (HAM-d) was applied after initial psychiatry work up to all women who were selected for the interview. Analysis revealed about half of the pregnant women having some form of depression. Life events (e.g. chronic illness in the family, marital disharmony, economic crisis to sustain the family) were found to be important risk factors (P<0.05). Antenatal depression is a more common than generally thought.
这是一项横断面研究，对尼泊尔东部地区医院前来进行产前检查的45名孕妇开展。在对所有入选接受访谈的女性进行初步精神科检查后，应用了汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAM-d）。分析显示，约一半的孕妇有某种形式的抑郁症。生活事件（如家庭慢性病、婚姻不和、维持家庭的经济危机）被发现是重要的风险因素（P<0.05）。产前抑郁症比一般认为的更为常见。
