Eckerdal P, Kollia N, Karlsson L, et al. - Using data from the Biology, Affect, Stress, Imaging and Cognition (BASIC) project (2009–2017), researchers examined the link between the use of epidural analgesia (EDA) and the development of postpartum depression (PPD) following adjustment for sociodemographic, psychosocial, and obstetric variables. This inquiry involved 1,503 women, of those, 800 (53%) stated the use of EDA during childbirth. At 6 weeks postpartum, the presence of PPD was seen in 193 (13%) women. According to the findings, there was no link of EDA with PPD risk at 6 weeks postpartum after adjusting for sociodemographic, psychosocial, and obstetric variables. However, the results do not preclude a possible link between PPD and childbirth pain or other aspects of EDA that were not evaluated in this study.
