S.dmitrys@agapeunlimited.orgN. A. Semashko National Research Institute of Public Health151220223162009082022Copyright © 2022,2022The main purpose of the article is to review the available scientific data on the effect of postpartum depression in a mother on her newborn child, both in the short and long term. The article also discusses a theoretical model for the introduction of screening for postpartum depression at the level of pediatric primary health care, since mothers of children who are observed in medical organizations are also visitors to medical organizations due to the need to accompany the child until his fifteenth birthday. Currently, there is no legislative regulation in the Russian Federation for screening for the possible presence of such a risk factor in a child as postpartum depression of the mother. Considering periodic preventive visits to the pediatrician by the child accompanied by the mother, doctors can screen for postpartum depression, which is relevant and widespread, especially in urbanized countries, which the Russian Federation is part of.postpartum depressionpediatricsscreeningrisk factorrisksreviewпослеродовая депрессияпедиатрияскринингфактор рискарискиобзор1.Hagnell, O., Lanke, J., Rorsman, B., & Ojesjo, L.
