CBT can reduce risk of Perinatal Depression

If you have a history or family history of depression and are pregnant please let your healthcare team know.  Evidence based treatments prior to delivering your child can significantly reduce your risk of perinatal depression.

The Task Force reviewed 50 studies which examined a variety of different treatments including counselling, physical activity, education, and medication such as antidepressants and omega-3 fatty acids. They determined there was convincing evidence that counseling interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy were effective in preventing perinatal depression.In fact, both types of therapy reduced the risk of depression by 39 percent.
