Abstract: | The perinatal stage is a critical time for the mental health of the women. At this stage, emotional well-being is essential for the mother, the baby and the people around them. Maternal depression is recognized as a worldwide public health problem. Today, it affects between 10 and 30% of women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Many women express reluctance to take medication during pregnancy and seek alternative medicine methods, such as omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, to address and prevent the symptomatology of perinatal depression. However, published reviews on adjunctive therapy of major depressive disorder in pregnant and non-pregnant populations have led to conflicting conclusions about the efficacy of this supplementation. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the influence of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in the treatment of perinatal depression in pregnant women. The study focuses on reviewing the scientific evidence available in the "PubMed" database, selecting clinical trials comparing omega-3 supplementation with placebos in pregnant women. This methodological approach will allow us to evaluate the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, providing a clear view on the usefulness of this therapeutic intervention in this vulnerable population. |
