undergoing postpartum depression to let her express her feelings and
restore her psychological health.

Nursing Assessment

 Assess the woman’s psychological health even before the delivery.


 Assess her history of illnesses to determine if she needs any counseling
prior to her delivery to avoid postpartum depression.

PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT:

 ANTIDEPRESSANTS
 Such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft) and amitriptyline,
are generally thought to be safe for use while breastfeeding
 Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are usually the first-choice
medicines. Most SSRIs are thought to be safe for use while a woman is
breastfeeding. That's because SSRIs generally pass into the breast milk at low
levels.
 Tricyclics are generally thought to be safe for use while a woman is
breastfeeding.
