Introduction:
Postpartum Depression is a psychiatric syndrome with a prevalence of 10-15%. The studies show that depressive mothers have a "negative" relation with their children.
Method:
205 primiparous women are analyzed, of them, we take a group of "cases" (23 depressive mothers) and a "control" group (37 women without psychiatric symptoms). Childrearing in the first postpartum year is analyzed.
Results:
13.5% of the studied women have a Postpartum Depression within the first six postpartum months. There aren't sociodemographics differences between both groups. Childrearing of depressive mothers is lower in affect and care than control mothers.
Conclusions:
Childrearing of depressive mothers in postpartum period is lower in Affect and Care than non depressive mothers in the same period.
