It reports the importance of prenatal care mediated by changes that can lead to postpartum depression. The present study seeks to clarify the etiology, the importance of early diagnosis, its various forms of treatment and preventive actions for postpartum depression, which result from emotional, cognitive, behavioral and physical changes triggered from the gestational onset to the puerperal stage. Through a bibliographical and systematic review of the literature, we observed that its etiology was not fully clarified in the form of risk factors involved and that the treatment should be carried out in a multidisciplinary way.
