As one dealing with patients in the Psychiatric unit, researching postpartum depression is key to protecting the mental health of most future parents (especially new ones) since the best intervention is early detection. This can be done by screening the signs and symptoms of mood, anxiety and depression problems during pregnancy and undertaking appropriate counseling and treatment measures to prevent its occurrence after childbirth (Shim & Choi, 2022).
