Early Recognition of Postpartum Depression Prevention Program
Between 50-80 percent of women become depressed after giving birth. For most women, these baby blues, or feelings of sadness, disappear after a few days. For 10-15 percent, these gloomy feelings linger and turn into postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is much more serious than the baby blues and can affect a mother's ability to take care of her child. Luckily, postpartum depression is a very treatable problem.

- the symptoms of the baby blues and postpartum depression
- risk factors for developing the baby blues and postpartum depression
- explanations of the different treatment options for postpartum depression.
