The post-partum depression market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC’s new report titled “Post-Partum Depression Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034”. Post-partum depression is a complex mix of physical, emotional, and behavioral changes that usually occur within a few months to a year after childbirth. It is considered one of the primary reasons for both maternal suffering and ill health. Some significant causes associated with post-partum depression can be physiological, situational, or multifactorial. Several symptoms are associated with post-partum depression, including depressed mood or extreme mood swings, loss of appetite or eating more than usual, insomnia, overwhelming tiredness, intense irritability or anger, severe anxiety, panic attacks, etc. A specific test for the diagnosis of post-partum depression is yet to be invented. The healthcare provider usually evaluates the individual upon their post-partum visit to the hospital. As part of the evaluation, the healthcare provider may do a depression screening, including having to fill out a questionnaire. They may order additional tests to rule out other causes for the symptoms if needed. Moreover, an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale test can also be used to diagnose post-partum depression.


The rising incidences of mood disorders and anxiety on account of the increasing imbalance of hormones during and after pregnancy are primarily driving the post-partum depression market. In addition to this, the growing prevalence of associated risk factors, such as pregnancy-related physical changes, constant sleep deprivation, loneliness, complicated or difficult labor, low levels of social support, etc., is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the inflating awareness about mental health among the masses coupled with the increasing number of support groups and communities for new mothers is further creating a positive outlook for the global market. Besides this, the rising number of initiatives to treat post-partum depression through telemedicine virtual assistance over calls and online counseling are also propelling the global market. Additionally, the emerging popularity of various post-partum depression management approaches that involve healthy lifestyle choices, avoiding isolation, shared responsibilities between both parents, etc., is further acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the escalating number of ongoing clinical trials for evaluating the efficacy and therapeutic potential of new drugs to treat post-partum depression is also augmenting the market growth. Numerous other factors, such as the widespread adoption of combination therapies and the growing usage of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors owing to their high level of effectiveness and general safety, are expected to drive the post-partum depression market in the coming years.
