parto e che possa dunque essere estremamente utile per una previsione di sviluppo di sintomatologia depressiva successiva, indicando anche come questo processo possa essere influenzato dalle diverse tipologie di parto affrontato dalle mamme.
I risultati del nostro studio indicano che le donne che hanno avuto un C E, hanno un più alto rischio di sviluppare sintomi precoci di depressione, di ansia e di anedonia nel post-partum. In particolare, questo studio ci mostra come l’utilizzo dell’EPDS e la sua lettura multifattoriale nel post-partum, sia un valido strumento per comprendere meglio lo spettro delle problematiche psicologiche nelle donne nel post-partum, in relazione alle differenti tipologie di parto.
