Abstract
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.
