Meta AnalysisThe association between gestational diabetes and postpartum depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postpartum period is a critical period for mothers, which is often accompanied by increased risk of depression. Many studies have evaluated the relationship between gestational diabetes (GDM) and postpartum depression (PPD), but contradictory results have been reported. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between GDM and PPD. ⋯ GDM can be a risk factor for PPD. Therefore, PPD examination in pregnant women with GDM seems to be necessary.
