Up to 85% of women have some form of mood disorder during the postpartum period.
The most widespread is postpartum blues with prevalence ranging from 30%-75%. It exists in a number of nations and cultures, although there is a difference in the prevalence rates.
According to the reports, it ranges from 15% in Japan to 60% in Iran.[1][2] The disparity in prevalence is because of underreporting of the condition because of cultural beliefs.

The second most common is postpartum depression which affects 10%-15% of new mothers. The average age at presentation is 27 with majority being married and being Akans. On grading them on severity scale, 39% has minimal depression, 22% are affected by moderate depression and mild depression, 6% have moderately severe depression, and 11% are affected by severe depression. There is significant reduction in the symptoms with psychosocial support.[3]
Postpartum psychosis is relatively uncommon which affects 0.1%-0.2% women. [4] [5]
