In the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, CDC provides the percentage of women with symptoms of postpartum depression overall and over time using Pregnancy Risk Assessment
Postpartum depression is common and associated with adverse infant and maternal outcomes (e.g., lower breastfeeding initiation and duration and poor maternal and infant bonding). Despite the decline in postpartum depression, symptoms remain
common, affecting about 1 out of 9 women in 2012. This report highlights the
differences in the percentage of women with symptoms of postpartum depression
by state and by characteristics. Ongoing monitoring and activities to promote
appropriate screening, referral, and treatment are needed to reduce symptoms of
postpartum depression among women.
