• MCH Library-Georgetown University - This knowledge path about postpartum depression has been compiled by the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current, high-quality resources about the prevalence and incidence of postpartum depression; identification and treatment; impact on the health and well-being of a new mother and her infant; and implications for service delivery. The knowledge path is aimed at health professionals, policymakers, program administrators, researchers, and women experiencing postpartum depression and their families. This path will be updated periodically. Please note: While this knowledge path focuses on postpartum depression (i.e., depression that occurs within the first 12 months following childbirth), several resources below more broadly address perinatal depression (i.e., depression that occurs during and after pregnancy).
