TL;DR: The findings of this study support the universality of a morbid state of unhappiness following childbirth and support concerns about the cross-cultural equivalence of postnatal depression as an illness requiring the intervention of health professionals; this has implications for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breastfeeding is negatively affected by prenatal depression and reduces postpartum depression
TL;DR: It is suggested that screening for depression symptoms during pregnancy can help to identify women at risk for early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding, and that exclusive breastfeeding may help to reduce symptoms of depression from childbirth to 3 months postpartum.
