Postpartum depression, therapeutic interventions, treatment, maternal mental health and recovery.Abstract
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a condition that significantly affects the mental health of mothers and the development of their children. With multiple therapeutic approaches available, it is crucial to identify the most effective ones to treat and manage this condition. Objective: This article aims to review and synthesize intervention strategies for postpartum depression, highlighting evidence-based therapies and exploring pharmacological, psychological and alternative approaches in the treatment of PPD. Methods: A literature review of the last 20 years was carried out, covering studies on the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), psychoeducational interventions, pharmacological treatments and mindfulness and yoga practices. Results and Discussion: Therapies such as CBT and TIP have been shown to be effective in relieving PPD symptoms and improving psychological adjustment. Online and psychoeducational interventions facilitate access and adherence to treatment. Antidepressants require careful consideration as to their safety during lactation. Complementary practices such as yoga and mindfulness are beneficial in reducing anxiety and promoting well-being, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and integrative approach to treatment. Conclusion: The combination of psychological, pharmacological and holistic treatments, tailored to individual needs, is essential for the effective management of PPD. A collaborative effort is needed to ensure that all mothers receive access to effective and culturally sensitive treatments, improving health outcomes for them and their children.
