Abstract	This study investigates the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) among 200 women who delivered at Government Women’s Hospital, Dharashiv, from October 2023 to March 2024. The findings reveal a half-year prevalence of PPD at 13% for vaginal deliveries and 26% for cesarean deliveries, resulting in a pooled prevalence of 22% in India. This figure is notably higher than the 12.9% reported in high-income countries and aligns with the 19.2% prevalence found in low- and middle-income nations. The study highlights the challenges faced by mothers in accessing adequate postpartum care, especially given the short hospital stays and low rates of follow-up visits, which contribute to undetected mental health issues. Urban mothers exhibited higher rates of PPD, potentially due to factors such as overcrowding and increased stress. The mean age of affected mothers was 28.05 years, with no significant associations found between PPD and socio-demographic variables like family type or maternal education. Notably, a prior history of depression was linked to higher prevalence rates. These findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced screening and intervention strategies for PPD in India, particularly for vulnerable populations, to improve maternal mental health outcomes and overall family well-being.
