SUMMARY
In Romania, as anywhere in the world, postpartum depression is considered to be the most frequent health problem in the postpartum period.Unfortunately, as it will be later explained, in Romania, in the majority of cases, patients, their families and relatives (as well as the medical staff in charge of the patient) treat the postpartum depression and its serious possible implications superficially.Therefore and especially in order to precisely establish the perception of postpartum depression and its consequences in a targeted population, but also to evaluate indirectly the level of importance given to it by doctors (as well as the other healthcare professionals), we have designed in the year of 2019 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of "St.Pantelimon" Emergency Clinical Hospital from Bucharest a populational study that anonymously interviewed 112 pregnant women hospitalized in the clinic between 24.02.2019 and 25.03.2019.Our interview was mostly generated by an extensive master study that was conducted in the clinic on this topic, but after seeing the results we have considered it mandatory to summarize and publish them.
