abstract="This article provides a detailed case study of Mary Ellen Moffitt, a mother suffering from postpartum depression, who killed her 5-week-old daughter and then committed suicide. Similar cases have been widely publicized in recent years and deserve increased attention. The notion that postpartum depression is strictly a biological disease is inaccurate, as there are typically psychosocial factors that contribute to the disease as well. The final section of this article examines treatment options. © The Author 2007. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
