[1] However, there have been few reports of an association between depressive severity and C-section delivery in young patients with MDD. [...]we aimed to analyze the primary association between depressive symptoms and C-section delivery in young depressed patients. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to investigate the associations of depressive severity with delivery type, adjusted for age of onset, gender, marital status, educational level, occupation, and disease course. [2] We also found that depressive severity in young patients with MDD correlated with age of onset, marital status, occupation, disease course, and delivery type. [...]we showed that C-section significantly increased the risk of severity of depression in young depressed patients.
