PREGNANCY accompanied by other predisposing factors can result in onset or exacerbation of DEPRESSION. Fifteen percent of depressed patients finally commit suicide.

Data were collected by Zung questionnaire which was completed by pregnant women. The data analysed by Chi-square test and SPSS software. Results: In this study 32% of pregnant women were suffered from DEPRESSION. among this group 22.33% had mild DEPRESSION, 6.67% moderate DEPRESSION, and 3% severe DEPRESSION. Following conditions were related with high frequency of DEPRESSION: poor economic status, primigravidity, having more than three pregnancies, unemployment, and poor emotional relationship with partner. There wasn't significant difference between DEPRESSION and age group, level of education, and gestational age.Conclusion: PREVALENCE of DEPRESSION in PREGNANCY is reported in textbooks up to 22%, but in our study and similar studies in our country PREVALENCE of DEPRESSION is higher.
