POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION PREVENTION PROGRAM

Women with a history of postpartum depression or other psychiatric history are at risk for symptoms of depression or anxiety after childbirth. At The Postpartum Stress Center we have found that one of the best strategies for intervention is to build and sustain a sufficient support program during pregnancy which includes a plan for the immediate postpartum period. Comprehensive history taking and screening & assessment tools are used to develop an individual plan that is customized to maximize woman's postpartum outcome.
