4. Discussion We found a high prevalence of depression in pregnant women, as has been extensively documented in the literature [30]. It should be noted that the women who participated in the study were not under psychotherapeutic or pharmacological treatment. Thus, we confirm that a large proportion of women with perinatal depression go undetected and untreated [31]. We discuss our findings in two blocks: those on the mother-fetus bond and those on the mother-child relationship.
