This paper attempts to analyze the existing data for prevalence and risk factors associated with PPD in the target population. The results of review are discussed with implications for prevention and treatment. Keywords: Postpartum Depression, risk factors, cultural considerations, Middle Eastern, Arab women. Language: en
