The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has released a new booklet on depression during and after pregnancy (perinatal depression). The booklet contains tips on identifying the condition in mothers and offers six steps to help treat it successfully. (Note: HRSA is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.)
Called "Depression During and After Pregnancy: A Resource for Women, Their Families, and Friends,” the 22-page booklet is designed to increase awareness among women and clinicians of perinatal depression’s impact and pervasiveness. It also contains information for family members and a list of print and Internet resources. A new Web site, www.mchb.hrsa.gov/pregnancyandbeyond/depression, provides easy-to-understand, downloadable tools for women, their families and health care professionals.
