Treatments for Antenatal Depression and Postnatal Depression
Depression during and after pregnancy is curable, and we will provide you with some treatment options to consider in the following text. Please make sure to consult your doctor before applying these protocols.
Medication
Patients can take antidepressants to get some relief from antenatal and postnatal depression. Though medication therapy shows a good effect, antidepressant selections during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be with caution. A wrong choice may cause complications for the babies. Recommended examples are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), Bupropion (Forfivo XL, Wellbutrin SR), and Tricyclic antidepressants.
