dc.description.abstract	INTRODUCTION Postpartum Depression (PPD) or Postnatal Depression (PND) is defined as “a non- psychotic depressive episode of mild to moderate severity beginning in or extending into the first postnatal year” Postpartum period (from delivery of placenta to 6 weeks after delivery) is a period during which dramatic hormonal changes occur which can lead to depression among women. PPD is a very important medical issue and a common problem of women and can have a significant impact on the emotional and cognitive development of the baby for a longer period. Estimated prevalence of PPD ranges between 13 and 19% in western studies. Studies done in India have noted the prevalence of postnatal depression ranging between 11 - 26.3%. Not many studies have been carried out on prevalence of PPD in this part of Karnataka. Keeping this in mind, the present study was carried out to assess the prevalence of postpartum depression among women in urban area of north Karnataka	en_US
