“…Multiple regression analysis highlighted that the intensity of depressive symptoms during postpartum period was partly explained by mother's history of depressive symptoms as well as grandmother's history of postpartum depression. These results corroborate the role of history of depression in postpartum depression (Bridge et al, 1985;Leigh & Milgrom, 2008;Mills et al, 1995;O'Hara, Schlechte, Lewis, & Varner, 1991), but also underline the importance of questioning a woman's mother about her own experience of postpartum, when circumstances allow it. Indeed, very few studies have already demonstrated the relationship between women's postpartum depression and their own mothers' history of postpartum depression (Mills et al, 1995).…”

“…Depression that is present during pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and infant outcome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The unique opportunities afforded by the perinatal period have also been highlighted [21,22].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the recruitment and retention of depressed pregnant women, identified initially through screening, to a randomized controlled psychotherapy trial. Method: Consecutive pregnant women presenting for routine ultrasound scan were asked to complete the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Women who scored greater than 12 on the EPDS and who agreed to contact were invited to attend an initial assessment to determine eligibility for the trial. Consenting, eligible women were randomized to either cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) or routine clinical care (RCC). Follow-up assessments were conducted at mid (6 weeks following initial assessment), end (approximately 36 weeks gestation), and postpartum (approximately 4 months postdelivery) for all participants. Results: 400 women were offered the EPDS, and 93% completed the questionnaire (370/400). Thirteen percent (49/370) of these women scored greater than 12, although only a minority of these women agree to be contacted (15/49). Of those who agreed to be contacted, less than half attended initial interview (7/15 attended; 3/15 ineligible; 5/15 declined). Upon interview, all women except for one, were eligible and consenting (6/7). Three women were randomized to CBT and three to RCC. Only one woman randomized to CBT chose to commence treatment, and only one woman randomized to RCC was offered treatment for her low mood by her lead maternity provider. Conclusions: While the vast majority of pregnant women were willing to complete a depression screening questionnaire, most did not agree to additional contact or assessment, and either were not offered treatment or did not accept treatment. This was not an effective recruitment strategy for a randomized controlled psychotherapy trial.

“…Data from studies that obtained periodic assessments of mothers to monitor the course of their postpartum depression revealed that the symptoms remit steadily and almost completely within a year. In their longitudinal studies, Kumar and Robson (1984) reported no cases of postpartum depression at 1 year, and Bridge, Little, Hayworth, Dewhurst, and Priest (1985) found only one case (11%) at 1 year.…”
