Women’s experience of postnatal depression –
beliefs and attitudes as barriers to care
Despite the increasing use of screening instruments to
identify women with postnatal depression (PND), many
do not access services and supports. It is unclear
how women’s experiences of PND influence their
beliefs and attitudes and their choice to seek help.
We will also explore ways family, friends and health
professionals can facilitate help seeking behaviours.
