During this period, women often experience anxiety symptoms. Although the literature has suggested that socioeconomic status (SES) may contribute to the severity of pregnant women experiencing anxiety and depression, it has shown that women with low socioeconomic status may be more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression during pregnancy. Specifically, it has been hypothesized that low ses will be associated with an increased experience of anxiety and depressive symptoms.woman's health before, during and after pregnancy. The results of this study shows that low socioeconomic status may increase the risk of anxiety and depression in pregnant women; therefore, practitioners should consider the socioeconomic status of patients assessing the risk of anxiety and depression during their pregnancy. The implementation of this type of screening for pregnant women is vital for ensuring both a healthy mother and a healthy baby. Post-partum depression is a serious psychiatric problem with a fairly high incidence, which can be the cause of morbidity and mortality for mother and baby. There are many factors that affect the development of depression in the post-partum period in women. The main factors among these are; the economic situation, the mother's family / own history of depression, not wanting pregnancy / child, the number of pregnancies and the excess number of children. Knowing these factors will guide on which issues the mother needs follow-up and support after childbirth.
