Association between parity and perinatal depression by time of onset in women with RMD. Only multiparae with at least one pregnancy affected were included (N=193). Depression was defined as an episode of DSM-IV non-psychotic major depression. Odds ratios were used to quantify the association between parity and perinatal affective episodes. If odds ratios are greater than one then perinatal depression is more likely to happen in the first perinatal period than in the second perinatal period. *Significant effect (p=0.003).
