Case description

Pregnancy is considered to be one of the most special moments of a woman’s life. Soon-to-be mothers are expected to be awaiting their baby’s arrival with excitement and jubilance. But sometimes, due to depressive disorders (DD), the course of the pregnancy may not meet the blissful expectations. DD might impact fetal development and have consequences reaching far after pregnancy and delivery. Untreated DD may be the cause of premature delivery, low birth weight, gestational hypertension or even perinatal death and may also affect child’s physical and emotional development
