Popis: Objective:The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between postpartum synthetic oxytocin administration and the development of depressive and anxiety disorders after delivery.Materiyal and methods: We hypothesized that women exposed to postpartum exogenous oxytocin would have a reduced risk of postpartum depressive and anxiety disorders compared with those without exposure. The cases were examined under two groups as "Oxytocin users" (n = 100) and "Control" (n = 100) groups .

Results: The incidence of depression (4%) in the oxytocin group was significantly lower than the control group (14%) (p: 0.026, p
