Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in the postnatal ward of Lady Hardinge Medical College and Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, New Delhi from August 2020 to February 2021 using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to estimate point prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) in the stratified zones (suspect and nonsuspect) of the hospital. Results: Total of 408 postpartum women,204 each (COVID-19 suspects, and nonsuspects zone) were enrolled. Prevalence of Postpartum depression using an EDPS score of >9 was 11.9%. Prevalence of depression (17.9%; vs 4.85%, p <0.001) and level of depression (5.01±3.41 vs 4.14± 2.54, p 0.004) was significantly higher in mothers in isolated quarantine wards of COVID-19 suspect zone as compared to nonsuspect zones. Anhedonia was reported significantly higher (p <0.001) in suspect zone mothers. Multivariate analysis showed 'stay in COVID-19 suspect zone' and 'COVID-19 Suspect status' as a significant predictor of PPD. Conclusion: Covid -19 postpartum suspects are at increased risk of developing postpartum depressive symptoms due to isolation and quarantine measures required in suspect zones to mitigate viral transmission.Limitations - Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study long-term impacts on mental health due to isolation could not be assessed. Factors such as marital relationship, COVID -19 related risk factors weren't assessed which may have bearing on the risk of developing PPD.
