  • Title: Peripartum depression: Early recognition improves outcomes.
    Author: Howard MM, Mehta ND, Powrie R.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2017 May; 84(5):388-396. PubMed ID: 28530897.
    Abstract:
    Depression is highly prevalent in women of childbearing age, especially during the postpartum period. Early recognition and treatment improve outcomes for mother, developing fetus, and infant. Caution is warranted when prescribing antidepressants to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, but evidence is mounting that the risks of untreated maternal depression outweigh those of pharmacologic treatment for it.
