Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Perinatal depression (PD) affects 10-20% of women, causing significant impairments.
  • Many women with PD do not seek treatment, and many who do do not achieve remission.
  • Interpersonal factors are crucial in the development and maintenance of depressive disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of including partners in the treatment of maternal perinatal depression.
  • To propose a model for practitioners to guide couples' treatment for PD.
  • To address PD symptomology through a dyadic lens.

Main Methods:

  • Practice review of existing literature on couples and depression.
  • Proposal of a three-component treatment model: psychoeducation, communication training, and behavioral activation.
  • Focus on addressing risk factors for women and couples in the perinatal period.

Main Results:

  • Including partners in PD treatment offers therapeutic benefits.
  • The proposed model provides a framework for practitioners.
  • Psychoeducation, communication training, and behavioral activation are key components.

Conclusions:

  • A dyadic approach is valuable for treating maternal perinatal depression.
  • Practitioners can utilize this model to support couples.
  • Addressing interpersonal dynamics is essential for improving outcomes in perinatal depression.
