“…Some papers report an improved outcome for preventing placentation disorders [18]. But 3 Cochrane database systematic reviews and recent meta-analysis are not conclusive and do not recommend a DHA supplementation for the prevention of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and postpartum depression [26,30,31,41].…”

During pregnancy, the benefits of long-chain n-3 fatty acids, mainly DHA supplementation has been reported with controversial results. The aim of this review paper is to clarify the role of DHA on maternal and fetal outcomes and to discuss supplementation.Low maternal concentrations of DHA are associated with an increased incidence of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, postpartum depression, preterm labour and intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR).The effect of a preventive supplementation on these complications is not clearly demonstrated . Some authors report an improved outcome but recent Cochrane database systematic reviews and meta-analysis are not conclusive.DHA supplementation reduces significantly the effects of prenatal stress and the perinatal mortality rate. In patients with previous history of preterm birth, supplementation is also controversial.In conclusion, even if the DHA requirements are increased in pregnancy and if positive correlations are reported between low maternal concentrations and an adverse pregnancy outcome, there are conflicting results on the efficacy of a DHA supplementation. Further studies using different DHA regimens of administration are needed. In the meantime, as it is a safe supplementation with few side effects, DHA should be prescribed in patients with a low dietary intake and risks factors.

“…The possible benefits of dietary supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, iron, folate, s-adenosyl-L-methionine, cobalamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin, vitamin D and calcium in preventing PPD were analysed by the systematic review (Miller et al 2013). The review concludes that there is no evidence to recommend any of these for preventing post-partum depression.…”

“…According to World Health Organization (WHO), depression will become the second prevalent problem after ischemic heart diseases by 2020 (WHO, 2005); In addition, postpartum depression (PPD), as a major depressive episode, is diagnosed with the beginning of pregnancy, and can last from 2 weeks to 1 year (based on DSM-IV and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10)) (Miller, Murray, Beckmann, Kent, & Macfarlane, 2013).

Objective: According to the World Health Organization, depression will be the second prevalent problem after ischemic heart diseases by the year 2020. Postpartum depression (PPD) as a major depressive episode has devastating impacts on the health of mother, newborn, infant, and even the whole family. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of zinc and magnesium serum levels with PPD, as one of the commonly assumed causes of depression. Methods:This cross-sectional study was done on 122 postpartum women aged 18 years and more in two educational hospitals and one non-educational hospital in Tabriz-Iran, 2015. The eligible women were selected using convenience sampling method. Then, the demographic characteristics questionnaire and Edinburgh Depression Scale were completed by participants, and 5cc of blood sample was drawn from each participant. For data analysis, logistic regression test was used. Results:The mean score of depression scale was 8.0 (SD: 4.7), meaning that 18.9% of mothers were depressed. Results indicated a significant inverse correlation between Edinburgh depression score and magnesium serum level (p= 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the zinc serum level and Edinburgh depression score (p=0.831), in so far as based on logistic regression analysis, increased magnesium serum level decreased the odds of depression [Odds ratio: 0.05; CI 95%: 0.01 to 0.29].Conclusions: In this study, there was a significant inverse relationship between magnesium serum level and Edinburgh depression score.
