Mums - Postnatal depression

Postnatal depression is a major health problem in Australia. It affects up to 16% of pregnant and new mothers. Often the depression goes undetected which can lead to major problems for the mum, her partner and the new baby.
There are health professionals and other resources available to help if you are feeling down, anxious, stressed or depressed. Information and early intervention can assist in minimising the harmful effects of depression on all members of your family.
