===Criteria=== Postpartum depression in the DSM-5 is known as "depressive disorder with peripartum onset". Peripartum onset is defined as starting anytime during pregnancy or within the four weeks following delivery.<ref name=":3" /> There is no longer a distinction made between depressive episodes that occur during pregnancy or those that occur after delivery.<ref name="American Psychiatric Association">{{cite book|title=Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)|date=2013|publisher=American Psychiatric Association.|location=Arlington, VA}}</ref> Nevertheless, the majority of experts continue to diagnose postpartum depression as depression with onset anytime within the first year after delivery.<ref name="Stuart-Parrigon_2014"/> The criteria required for the diagnosis of postpartum depression are the same as those required to make a diagnosis of non-childbirth-related [[Major depressive disorder|major depression]] or [[minor depressive disorder|minor depression]]. The criteria include at least five of the following nine symptoms, within two weeks:<ref name="American Psychiatric Association"/> * Feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness, nearly every day, for most of the day, or the observation of a depressed mood made by others * Loss of interest or pleasure in activities * Weight loss or decreased appetite * Changes in sleep patterns * Feelings of restlessness * Loss of energy * Feelings of worthlessness or guilt * Loss of concentration or increased indecisiveness * Recurrent thoughts of death, with or without plans of suicide
