Despite Italy's universal healthcare, perinatal mental health services and guidelines, especially for childbirth-related PTSD (CB-PTSD), remain underdeveloped. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of CB-PTSD, postpartum depression (PPD), and anxiety in Italian women 6-12 weeks postpartum, and assess the impact of comorbidities on mother-child bonding.<\/jats:p>\n         <\/jats:sec>\n         <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study was part of a broader longitudinal research that involved 175 Italian mothers 6-12 weeks postpartum, recruited from birthing centers. Participants completed measures for childbirth-related PTSD (City BiTS-IT), depression (EPDS), anxiety (PSAS-IT), and mother-child bonding (PBQ).<\/jats:p>\n         <\/jats:sec>\n         <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Prevalence rates were 1.1% for CB-PTSD, 18.6% for depression, and 30.2% for anxiety.
