A feminist perspective on postnatal depression.

Many women will experience postnatal depression (PND) after the birth of their child and will receive treatment which is generally medically prescribed. The definitions and treatment of PND to a great extent remain in the hands of the medical profession: an area dominated by men, where PND is usually perceived as an individual illness. Christine Jebali explores from the alternative viewpoint of feminist theory PND as a condition exclusive to women.

Working together to support women with postnatal depression.

One in seven mothers is likely to experience postnatal depression. Yet health professionals may still ignore or trivialise this distressing and common disorder, either because they do not understand it or they do not know how to help, writes Christine Jebali. Health visitors and community psychiatric nurses can usefully collaborate to support women experiencing depression after the birth of their child, she believes. Here she describes a special initiative set up in the West Midlands to meet this often unacknowledged need.
