Depression During and After Pregnancy
Knowledge Path

Introduction

This knowledge path about depression during and after pregnancy has been compiled by the MCH Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current, high-quality resources about the prevalence and incidence of perinatal depression; identification and treatment; impact on the health and well-being of new mothers and their infants; and implications for service delivery. The knowledge path is aimed at health professionals, policymakers, program administrators, and researchers. A separate section presents resources for women experiencing perinatal depression and their families. This knowledge path will be updated periodically.

This booklet by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) provides information about perinatal depression and its causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and effects on families.
