Abstract
Postnatal depression (PND) follows 13% of deliveries and has an adverse impact on child development and well being. It is therefore a major public health problem but the evidence base for its treatment remains limited. There is a substantial literature on the views of adults about the treatment of depression but relatively little is known about what women with PND think about treatments. In addition there has been a rise in the use of complementary therapies. This paper reviews the literature in this area and discusses the implications for health professionals.
