[Contribution of social variables to the prediction of postnatal depression].
Considering the frequent denial of the importance of social factors associated with non psychotic postnatal depression, the objective of this study is to check whether social variables contribute or not to the prediction of postnatal depression. 369 subjects, primiparous or secondiparous, were followed up from early pregnancy up to the sixth month after delivery. Analyses show the importance of the social variables measured at the beginning of the pregnancy, these constituting one third of all the significant variables.
