The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) in the prevention of post partum depression (PPD) in pregnant women at risk. PubMed, Medline, PsychInfo, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from January 1991 to June 2011 to review studies on the efficacy of CBT in the prevention of PD. The literature analyzed recommends that depression in pregnancy requires an efficient management to provide mother's symptoms relief as well as to prevent PD. While several studies demonstrated the efficacy of CBT in the treatment of PD, only a few controlled studies focused on its efficacy in the prevention of PD in women identified at risk during pregnancy. The efficacy of CBT in preventing PD in pregnant women at risk is supported by only a few studies, presenting some methodological flaws. Better designed trials are needed to strongly support the efficacy of such psychotherapeutic preventive strategy in women at risk for PD.
Psychological interventions in post-partum depression: A critical analysis
2019
Malta Medical Journal Volume 31 Issue 03 2019 Abstract Non-pharmacological interventions are often the preferred treatment modalities in perinatal mothers suffering from mental health problems. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) are the two main evidencebased psychological treatment interventions in the management of post-partum depression. Various studies have been conducted-to-date to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of both CBT and IPT in this specialised group, yet there is no data contrasting the two. This report aims to provide a comparative critical evaluation of the evidence base for the two interventions, including their respective strengths and limitations. Research possibly indicates a stronger evidence base for IPT in the treatment of depression post-delivery, perhaps as a result of larger scale studies having been performed for this treatment modality. Nonetheless, valuable positive outcomes for CBT-treated individuals have been obs...

Background Psychological interventions for postnatal depression can be beneficial in the short term but their longer-term impact is unknown. Aims To evaluate the long-term effect on maternal mood of three psychological treatments in relation to routine primary care. Method Women with post-partum depression (n=193) were assigned randomly to one of four conditions: routine primary care, non-directive counselling, cognitive–behavioural therapy or psychodynamic therapy. They were assessed immediately after the treatment phase (at 4.5 months) and at 9, 18 and 60 months post-partum. Results Compared with the control, all three treatments had a significant impact at 4.5 months on maternal mood (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS). Only psychodynamic therapy produced a rate of reduction in depression (Structured Clinical Interview for DSM–III–R) significantly superior to that of the control. The benefit of treatment was no longer apparent by 9 months post-partum. Treatment did not r...
Diagnosis and Management of Postpartum Depression
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a severe mental health problem that affects up to 15% of mothers. It is highly prevalent, and its drawbacks are not limited to the affected mothers. It also extends to their offspring, causing disturbances in their development. Recent research has identified several psychosocial and biological risk factors for PPD, including past depression, stressful life events, poor marital relationships, and social support. The obstetrician, pediatrician and primary health care physicians have a crucial role in screening for and treating PPD. This review aims to provide a holistic approach for PPD diagnosis and management.

Despite the existence of effective treatment for postpartum depression, few women seek professional help, indicating the need for a new and innovative format of treatment that can overcome help-seeking barriers. This article presents the study protocol for a blended cognitive–behavioral intervention for the treatment of postpartum depression, by integrating face-to-face sessions with a web-based program (Be a Mom) into one treatment protocol. This study will be a two-arm, noninferiority randomized controlled trial comparing blended intervention to usual treatment for postpartum depression provided in healthcare centers. Portuguese postpartum adult women diagnosed with postpartum depression (according to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder) will be recruited during routine care appointments in local healthcare centers and will be eligible to participate. Measures will be completed at baseline, postintervention, and at three- and six-month follow-ups. The prima...
Postpartum depression: we know the risks, can it be prevented
Revista Brasileira De Psiquiatria, 2005
In the past 20 years, there has been increasing recognition that for some women, pregnancy may be burdened with mood problems, in particular depression, that may impact both mother and child. With identification of risk factors for postpartum depression and a growing knowledge about a biologic vulnerability for mood change following delivery, research has accumulated on attempts to prevent postpartum depression using various psychosocial, psychopharmacologic, and hormonal strategies. The majority of psychosocial and hormonal strategies have shown little effect on postpartum depression. Notwithstanding, results from preliminary trials of interpersonal therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and antidepressants indicate that these strategies may be of benefit. Information on prevention of postpartum depression using dietary supplements is sparse and the available evidence is inconclusive. Although a few studies show promising results, more rigorous trials are required. The abounding negative evidence in the literature indicates that postpartum depression cannot be easily prevented, yet.
