Citation Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. Supporting women with postnatal depression through psychological therapies. University of York. Evidence briefings. 2011 Authors' conclusions Postnatal depression (PND) is a common condition affecting around 1 in 9 new mothers.
Given the high local birth rate and above average prevalence of risk factors, rates of PND in Bradford and Airedale are likely to be above the national average.
NICE recommends the use of psychological therapies as first-line treatments for mild to moderate PND in a 'stepped care' approach.
Psychological therapies can improve outcomes for women with PND compared with treatment as usual.
Long waiting times for some psychological therapies may be a concern, but some can be started almost immediately.
NHS Bradford and Airedale is introducing a modified SystmOne (electronic patient record and management system) for depression. This leaflet is to support its introduction and to highlight the range of psychological therapies available locally.
