Like other diseases, pregnancy depression can also be classified elsewhere according to ICD-10 , but is listed separately and coded with O99.3 because it can complicate pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
About 10 percent of all women are affected by depression during pregnancy; according to a study by Evans, 13.5% of pregnant women fulfilled the criteria for possible depression by the 32nd week of pregnancy. According to another study, 10 percent of women are affected. The reasons for this are still unclear and treatment, especially drug-based, is tricky. The results of a Finnish study, according to which maternal depression of pregnancy in adult children is said to be associated with a small increase in criminal behavior, have not yet been confirmed by other working groups.
The postpartum mood crises , which are also known as postpartum depression, are relevant in this context .
