Abstract

Depression in the perinatal period (PND) is common and can have devastating consequences for the mother and child. Obesity and depression have a bidirectional relationship, with each being a causal factor for the other. Here, we review the literature examining the associations between PND, obesity, and postpartum weight retention. The literature is limited but supports a greater incidence of PND among obese women. Universal screening for PND should be part of comprehensive perinatal care, as identification of PND can lead to referral and treatment. Future work should elucidate markers for both obesity and PND to facilitate early identification and intervention.
