TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Postpartum depression: identification and treatment in the clinic setting JO - Obstetrics and gynecology clinics of North America A1 - Kroska, Emily B. A1 - Stowe, Zachary N. SP - 409 EP - 419 VL - 47 IS - 3 N2 - Perinatal care, including the management of mental health issues, often falls under the auspices of primary care providers. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common problem that affects up to 15% of women. Most women at risk can be identified before delivery based on psychiatric history, symptoms during pregnancy, and recent psychosocial stressors. Fortunately, there have been a variety of treatment studies using antidepressants, nonpharmacologic interactions, and most recently, allopregnanolone (Brexanolone) infusion that have shown benefits. The most commonly used screening scale, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a 10-item self-rated scale, has been translated into a variety of languages.
