What treatment, or intervention, is effective for postnatal depression?
  1. Calling “Depression After Delivery.”
  2. Taking St John’s wort.
  3. Drinking caffeine to combat fatigue.
  4. Stopping breastfeeding for 2 weeks.
Explanation
Answer: A - Calling “Depression After Delivery" can be very helpful to new mothers experiencing postnatal depression. This organization can refer new mothers to a support group in their close geographic community. Caffeine and sugars worsen symptoms and, despite the fact that the herb St. John’s wort is useful for depression, it should not be used by nursing mothers because it is not deemed as safe. Zoloft, on the other hand, is deemed safe for nursing mothers. Lastly, this depression is not a reason to stop breastfeeding.
