Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) is a mental health disorder during pregnancy and postpartum. Untreated PMH will have serious consequences for mothers, children, their families, and society as a whole. This study utilized the Systematic review method by analyzing articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct as a database with a range of publications between 2018-2023 and using postpartum keywords of risk factors and mental health. Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on these articles analyzed the findings reveal that risk factors influencing the occurrence of PMH in postpartum mothers are violent factors (physical, psychological, and sexual violence), type of childbirth, history of childhood trauma, history of PMH during pregnancy, social factors (husband, family, community support), economy, demographics (age, marital status, education, family type, number of children), breastfeeding satisfaction, obstetric history, medical illness, food insecurity, and life-threatening events. Based on these risk factors, proactive efforts are required to provide an early understanding of interventions to pregnant women related to PMH to prevent it from occurring in postpartum mothers
