Depression in New Mothers, Volumes 1 and 2 provides a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to understanding the causes of postpartum depression, for assessing the different treatment options, including those that are safe for breastfeeding mothers, and to treating postpartum depression.

Depression is the most common complication of childbirth and results in adverse health outcomes for both mother and child. It is vital, therefore, that health professionals be ready to help women who have depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder in the perinatal period. Written by a Board-certified Lactation Consultant, this thoroughly updated fourth edition is divided into two volumes focusing on causes and consequences, and treatments respectively. It integrates the latest international research on perinatal mental health and breastfeeding, including new findings from around the world including on the role of oxytocin in maternal mental health, the impact that violence, adversity and discrimination can have on mothers in the perinatal period, and the dysphoric-milk-ejection response. It includes chapters on:

  • assessing depression
  • mother-infant sleep
  • traumatic birth experiences
  • infant temperament, illness, and prematurity
  • violence, discrimination and adversity
  • psychotherapy
  • complementary and integrative therapies
  • community support for new mothers
  • antidepressant medication - suicide and infanticide.

Rich with case illustrations and invaluable in treating mothers in need of help, this two volume set is an essential resource for all healthcare practitioners working with mothers in the perinatal period, including nurses, midwives, doctors, lactation consultants and psychologists.
