[Relationship between attachment style and depressive symptoms in postpartum women: findings from Turkey].

Maternal insecure attachment behavior, stimulated by the close relationship with the infant may contribute to the factors that may give rise to symptoms of depression. The present study, performed in a non-western country, confirms the results of the previous western studies suggesting a relationship between insecure attachment style and postpartum depression (PPD). Clinicians should pay particular attention to vulnerable women regarding their attachment style for early identification and treatment of PPD, either in western or non-western societies.
