    Postpartum Depression: Information and Treatment Options
    (2009-05-04) Keppeler, Philip
    There have been relatively few well-designed studies investigating the efficacy of SSRIs or other antidepressants to treat postpartum depression, and questions remain about the safety of SSRIs for nursing mothers. Although not statistically significant, the study cited in this report and project supports the efficacy and use of antidepressants in a select population of women suffering from postpartum depression. The same study supports cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as equally effective in treating postpartum depression.
