A retrospective study was carried out in Beijing, China, in 1992. Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was used to inquire the mothers at 6-12 month after delivery. A total of 550 women were investigated by mailing. 425 women replied. The positive rate of PPD in our study was 17.9%. Women who had had a history of mood disorder before pregnancy had a higher risk of PPD. Social and psychological factors such as lacking support from the women's relatives, the poor marital relationship and the bad living condition shown to be significantly associated with postnatal depression. PPD can seriously affected the physical and mental health and well-being of women, her child's early education causing delayed development and her family causing a great deal of suffering, personal distress and marital troubles even causing divorce and suicide. Thus it is important to identify the high risk women and give treatment as early as possible.
1992年在中国北京进行了一项回顾性研究。采用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表在产后6至12个月对母亲进行调查。通过邮寄方式对550名女性进行了调查。425名女性给予了回复。我们研究中产后抑郁症的阳性率为17.9%。怀孕前有情绪障碍史的女性患产后抑郁症的风险更高。社会和心理因素，如缺乏女性亲属的支持、不良的婚姻关系以及恶劣的生活条件，被证明与产后抑郁症显著相关。产后抑郁症会严重影响女性的身心健康和幸福感，导致其孩子早期教育发展延迟，并给其家庭带来巨大痛苦、个人困扰和婚姻问题，甚至导致离婚和自杀。因此，识别高危女性并尽早给予治疗很重要。
