Abstract
WOMEN of childbearing age are at high risk for depression.1,2 Depression after childbirth is particularly problematic because of the social role adjustments required of women during this time.3 For example, women must provide immediate and constant care for their infants. Women also face challenges in their relationships with spouses or partners, and often find that they must redefine their relationships with their family members and friends. Finally, women frequently need to make adjustments in their work roles to accommodate the care required by their infants.Keywords
