Full textInvestigations into the causes of postnatal depression are, with few exceptions, quantitative in nature. Although there are psychological, interpersonal and sociocultural perspectives on postnatal depression, the medical one dominates in terms of academic, professional and lay understandings of aetiology. The medical model has produced a plethora of investigations into the causes of postnatal depression but has paid little attention to the insights of women who have experienced the condition. This study sought to redress this by exploring the causes of post-natal depression from a women-centred perspective. A feminist approach to postnatal depression was adopted. This approach has evolved largely as a critique of the medical model and is grounded in a more qualitative tradition. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty women who had recovered from postnatal depression. Transcribed data from the interviews were thematically analysed to uncover the participants' attributed causes for their post-natal depression. A number of common themes emerged and could be broadly grouped under ""interpersonal factors"" (such as the impact of the woman's relationship with her own mother); ""psychological factors"" (such as the impact of unresolved issues and feelings of loss on the new mother) and ""biological factors"" (such as hormonal factors). The dominant theme that emerged from this study was that of ""motherhood"". Included under this heading were all those factors specifically associated with being a mother that were regarded by the women as being the cause of their postnatal depression (such as the experience of childbirth, breastfeeding and lack of sleep). At the core of this theme lay the realisation that motherhood was not what they had expected it to be. Their disappointment in not meeting their own expectations of motherhood contributed significantly to their postnatal depression. An interesting finding was that while many of the respondents located feelings of failure to live up to the ""ideal image"" of motherhood as a cause of their depression, few questioned the validity of the social construction of this ideal. This paper also examined the extent to which women's aetiological explanations resonate with existing models of post-natal depression. Their explanations were found to reflect some of the existing aetiological models of postnatal depression but no single model of explanation could be identified as the cause of their postnatal depression. Rather, women's attributions of cause were multi-layered and complex. They all attributed their depression following childbirth to a number of factors and they differed markedly from one another in their attributions. According to this research, postnatal depression results from a myriad of inter-related factors which interact with one another in different ways to produce a largely different picture for each and every woman. The limitations and contributions of this study are discussed.

Full textPostnatal depression (PND) is a condition which affects about 8-15% of recent parents. The cause of PND is unknown but several underlying factors have been purposed through different studies. This descriptive literature review aims to illuminate the parent’s situation when the mother is affected with PND. In search of literature, the databases Medline (via PubMed), Academic Search Elite, Cinahl, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and SweMed+ were used. Fourteen articles were finally included in this study. The result of the chosen articles, both from the woman’s and the men’s perspective, could be divided into three categories; thoughts and feelings about the own situation, thoughts and feelings surrounding the partner and the baby and thoughts and feelings about the perception of support. The women felt that the expectations they had of motherhood, before the baby was born, was not matched by later experiences and they perceived themselves as bad mothers. They also found it hard to talk about their feelings with both their partner and with people outside the family, thinking that no one would understand. The men felt as though they, due to their partner’s condition, had lost control of life and that there, for them, was no organized help or support available.
Postnatal depression (PND) är ett tillstånd som drabbar ca 8-15% av nyblivna föräldrar. Orsaken till PND är inte känd men flera troliga bakomliggande faktorer har föreslagits genom olika studier. Föreliggande beskrivande litteraturstudie syftar till att belysa föräldrarnas situation när modern drabbats av PND. Vid sökning av litteratur användes databaserna Medline (via Pubmed), Academic Search Elite, Cinahl, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES och SweMed+. Fjorton artiklar inkluderades slutligen i studien. Resultatet av valda artiklar kunde, både ur kvinnans och ur mannens perspektiv, delas in i tre kategorier; tankar och känslor om sin egen situation, tankar och känslor omkring partnern och barnet samt tankar och känslor om upplevelsen av stöd. Kvinnorna upplevde att de förväntningar de haft på moderskapet före barnets födelse inte överensstämde med den senare erfarenheten och de uppfattade sig själva som dåliga mammor. De upplevde det även svårt att tala om sina känslor, både med partnern och med personer utanför familjen, i tron att ingen skulle förstå. Männen upplevde att de, i och med partnerns tillstånd, förlorade kontrollen över livet och att det, för dem, inte fanns organiserad hjälp eller stöd att få.
Umuziga, Marie Providence. "Assessment of common perinatal mental disorders in a selected district hospital of the Eastern Province in Rwanda." Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/4283.
Full textCommon perinatal mental disorders (CPMDs) are increasingly being recognised as an important public health issue including depression and anxiety. In low and middle income countries such as Rwanda, CPMDs are prevalent among women in perinatal period. In Africa, the estimated prevalence rates of depression are 11.3% and 18.3% during ante-postnatal respectively, while ante-postnatal anxiety rates are 14.8% and 14% respectively. However, in Rwanda there is limited literature on CPMDs. This study was aimed at determining the occurrence of CPMDs in a selected district hospital of the Eastern Province in Rwanda as well as the factors associated with CPMDs in the selected study area. A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of one hundred and sixty five mothers in perinatal period, who were selected systematically. Demographic data and factors associated with CPMDs were determined using structured questionnaire and combined screening tools such as Zungu Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The Cronbach alpha values were 0.87 and 0.89 for SAS and EPDS respectively. SPSS Version 21 was utilized to analyse data. Univariate, bivariate correlational and multivariate analyses were performed. Most of the respondents (38.2%) were aged 25-29 years; Protestants (77.6%); married (44.8%); unemployed (77%) and had a primary school level of education (60.6%). With respect to participants in antenatal period (51.5%); 14.5% had a clinical level of anxiety and 19.4% had depression. In terms of participants in postnatal period (46.7%); 22.5% had a clinical level of anxiety and 29.7% had depression. However, participants in both periods (1.8%) all had a normal level of anxiety and 1.2% had depression.

Full textThe aim of this study was to investigate if the child health care nurses feel they have enough knowledge and support to operate counselling with mothers that feel depressed postpartum, further the aim also was to see how the child health care nurses handle mothers with signs of depression. The sample consists of child health care nurses who had taken the training-course in Postnatal depression, 66 % answered the questionnaire. All respondents experience that the training in Postnatal depression is useful in their work. Most useful to know is how a god screening is attended. The majority of respondents have access to supervision with psychologist once a month or 2-3 times over six months. Barely half feel they don’t get enough supervision. All respondents use The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in their work and also refer mothers with EPDS score 16 or more to psychologist. More than half of the respondents operate 1-3 counselling with each depressed mother. Almost half feel that they meet too few depressed mothers to feel secure with counselling. Conclusion: The training-course in Postnatal depression is useful in the work of child health care nurses. Supervision with psychologist is for the most child health care nurses adequate, but not enough. Many of the respondents experience that they meet too few depressed mothers to feel secure and to find a routine in counselling.

Full textBackground: Postpartum depression is a serious form of depression that affects between 8-15 percent of all women just in Sweden every year. No individual cause of the condition exists, but social and psychological, socio-economic, traumatic and stress-related events, lack of social support and a previous history of depression have been shown to be significant risk factors for the development of the condition. Suffering from a postpartum depression means a great suffering for the affected women but it also affects the whole family. An early diagnosis is important in order to reduce negative consequences regarding family. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore women's experiences of postpartum depression. Method: A literature review based on ten scientific articles of qualitative method was conducted. The different themes of the articles were identified, compared and analyzed and then categorized into the final themes presented in this work. Results: The result consisted of two main themes and five subthemes; To live with postpartum depression with the subthemes the expected motherhood and stigmatization and it´s impact; Barriers in health care with the subthemes need for support and difficulties in seeking help and normalization in health care. Many women experienced a lack of information and knowledge about the condition. The result showed that the stigma surrounding mental illness and postpartum depression resulted in a fear of being confronted by ignorance and prejudice. Decisive factors emerged as to how women experienced difficulties in their contact with health care. Discussion: The author discusses selected parts of the result obtained in the literature review based on current research, own reflections and Phil Barker´s The Tidal Model

Full textSyftet med föreliggande studie var att med hjälp av kvalitativ metod ta reda på hur kvinnor som drabbats av postnatal depression upplevde bemötandet från vården under graviditeten, efter förlossningen och inom psykiatrin. Postnatal depression har blivit vanligare att prata högt om på senare tid och många studier görs på området. Denna studie baserades på data ifrån fyra kvinnor som fått svara på öppna, strukturerade frågeformulär där frågorna formulerades utifrån fem utvalda teman. Det material som samlats in tolkades sedan i enlighet med valda teman. Resultatet visar att det finns ett missöje riktat mot främst förlossningsvården, speciellt vad gäller erbjudadet av emotionellt stöd under tiden på förlossningsavdelningen. Det som efterfrågas är utöver detta främst en ökad förståelse och kunskap om tillståndet och utökad inormation till blivande föräldrar om eventuella komplikationer som kan uppstå postpartum. En ökad preventiv insats från mödra- och förlossningsvården efterfrågas också liksom bättre uppföljning från psykiatrins sida. Dessutom vore det önskvärt med en utförlig handlingsplan så att risken att det blir ett omkringflyttande av ansvar minskar.
Moses-Europa, Simone. "Postnatal depression: exploring adolescent women's experiences and perceptions of being depressed." Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2005. http://etd.uwc.ac.za/index.php?module=etd&.
Full textlives. The purpose of this study was to explore adolescent mothers&rsquo
experiences of motherhood and memories of feeling depressed during or after the birth of their babies. The first aim was to explore the young women&rsquo
s experiences of mothering, by focusing upon the practice of being a mother. The second aim was to explore the young women&rsquo
s experiences of depression, by focusing on their physical behaviour and emotional experiences. The third aim was to explore their perceptions of the causes of their depression. The rationale for this study was that these issues will further enhance the body of knowledge available to practitioners working with adolescent mothers. It will also provide a source of insights and hypotheses for preventive intervention research. The study was located within a feminist standpoint framework that begins from the perspective of women with the aim to explore women&rsquo
s accounts of their experiences in relation to depression as an important source of knowledge. A qualitative research design and methodology was employed in the region of the Western Cape. Eight adolescent mothers between the ages of 16 and 19 were recruited and interviewed. The interviews were semi-structured and consisted out of open-ended questions. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis of data was carried out. The findings of this research yielded some interesting areas for future research and implications for treatment and intervention with first-time adolescent mothers. The adolescent mothers in this study experienced similar depressive symptoms to adult mothers in previous research. All the participants revealed that they feared their parents&rsquo
disappointment in them for being pregnant. This factor contributed to their depression, because they received very little (if any) support from their parents or the father of their baby. The participants discussed that their pregnancy or giving birth was linked to various aspects of themselves that they had lost as an adolescent. Before they received counselling, none of the participants understood why they experienced depressive symptoms or what was happening to them at the time after their pregnancies.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mental health is still the step-child of Health Services, although many studies show the serious negative impact it has on the mother, baby and the family. Knowledge about Postnatal Depression (PND) and associated risk factors which influence the development of PND is vital for early detection and intervention. Worldwide PND affects on average 10-15% of women after giving birth regardless of socio-economic status, race or education. Studies also reveal that the prevalence of PND is as high as 40-60% amongst women after giving birth. The goal of the study was to investigate the prevalence and factors influencing PND in a rural setting, in the Witzenberg Sub-district. The objectives included determining the prevalence of PND and identifying the contributing risk factors associated with PND. A descriptive explorative research design with a quantitative approach was applied. The target population was (N=1605) mothers, 18 years and older who gave birth in this Sub-district in one year, a convenience sampling method was used to select the study sample of (n=159/10%) participants who met the criteria and who gave voluntary permission to take part in the study. Validity and reliability was supported through the use of validated questionnaires EPDS and BDI including a questionnaire based on demographical, psychosocial and obstetrical data. In addition experts in statistics, nursing and psychiatry were consulted including language experts who validated the correctness of the Afrikaans and Xhosa translated questionnaires. A pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility of the study and all data was collected personally by the researcher with the support of two trained field workers. Ethics approval was obtained from Stellenbosch University and permission from the Department of Health, Provincial Government of the Western Cape, including informed written consent from each participant. The data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician and are presented with histograms and frequency tables. The relationship between continuous response variables and nominal input variables was analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Various statistical tests were applied to determine statistical associations between variables such as the chi-square tests using a 95% confidence interval. Non-parametric tests such as the Mann-Whitney U–test or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for randomised design. Levene’s test was used for Homogeneity of Variance and the Bonferonni test of probability. The study revealed that 50.3% of the mothers, who participated in the study, had PND. Various risk factors were determined in this study that influences the development of PND. Results include statistical associations between PND and the following: - unplanned babies and unwelcome babies (p=<0,01) - life events (p=0.01) - partner relationship (p=<0.01) - family and social support (p=<0.1) Furthermore, the majority of the participants (53.8%) with PND (n=80) had a history of a psychiatric illness which was shown with significance (p=<0.01), the majority of the participants (63.5%) were unmarried and 23.8% were teenagers who suffered from PND. Recommendations include promoting healthy lifestyles, empowerment of women, prevention of teenage pregnancies, early and holistic assessment for symptoms of PND and approriate referral. In conclusion the prevention and promotive measures, early detection of PND and appropriate referrals and treatment are critical in managing maternal, child and family well being.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geestesgesondheid blyk die stiefkind van gesondheidsdienste te wees, ten spyte daarvan dat navorsing die negatiewe impak wat dit op moeder, baba en die gesin het bevestig. Kennis van postnatale depressie (PDN) en verwante risiko faktore wat die ontwikkeling van PND beïnvloed is van uiterste belang vir die vroeë opsporing en ingryping daarvan. PND affekteer gemiddeld 10%-15% van vroue wêreldwyd wat dit ervaar nadat hulle geboorte geskenk het, ongeag sosio-ekonomiese status, ras of opleiding. Navorsing dui daarop dat die voorkoms van PND so hoog is soos 40%-60% onder vrouens nadat hulle geboorte geskenk het. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die prevalensie van PND en die faktore wat PND beïnvloed in ’n landelike nedersetting in die Witzenberg Subdistrik te ondersoek. Die doelwitte sluit die bepaling van die prevalensie van PND in en die identifisering van die risiko faktore wat daartoe aanleiding gegee het. ’n Beskrywende verkennende navorsingsontwerp met ’n kwantitatiewe benadering is toegepas. Die teikengroep was (N=1605) moeders, 18 jaar en ouer wat geboorte geskenk het in hierdie subdistrik binne een jaar. ’n Gerieflikheidssteekproef metode is gebruik om die deelnemers (n=159/10%) te selekteer wat aan die kriteria voldoen het en vrywillig toestemming gegee het om aan die studie deel te neem. Geldigheid en betroubaarheid is gerugsteun deur die gebruik van geldige vraelyste, naamlik EPDS en BDI wat ’n vraelys insluit wat gebaseer is op demografiese, psigososiale en verloskundige data. Hierbenewens is deskundiges in statistiek, verpleegkunde en psigiatrie geraadpleeg, asook taalkundiges wat die taalkorrektheid van Afrikaans en Xhosa vertaalde vraelyste nagegaan het. ’n Loodsondersoek is uitgevoer om die haalbaarheid van die navorsing te toets en alle data is persoonlik deur die navorser met die hulp van ’n opgeleide veldwerker ingesamel. Etiese goedkeuring is verkry van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch en toestemming van die Departement Gesondheid, die Provinsiale Regering van die Wes-Kaap, asook skriftelike toestemming van elke deelnemer. Die data is ontleed met die bystand van ’n statistikus en is deur frekwensie tabelle aangebied. Die verhouding tussen volgehoue/aaneenlopende respons veranderlikes en nominale inset/invoer veranderlikes is ontleed deur gebruik te maak van die analise van variansie (ANOVA). Verskeie statistiese toetse is toegepas om die statistiese assosiasies tussen veranderlikes vas te stel soos die chi-kwadraat toetse deur ’n 95% betroubaarheidsinterval te gebruik. Nie-parametriese toetse soos die Mann-Whitney U-toets of Kriskal-Wallis toets is gebruik vir ewekansige ontwerp. Levene se toets is gebruik vir homogeniteit van variansie en die Bonferonni toets vir waarskynlikheid. Die toets het bewys dat 50.3% van die moeders wat aan die studie deelgeneem het, het PND. Verskeie risiko faktore is in hierdie studie vasgestel wat die ontwikkeling van PND beïnvloed. Resultate sluit statistiese assosiasie tussen PND en die volgende in: - onbeplande babas en onwelkome babas (p=<0,01) - lewensgebeure (p=0.01) - lewensmaat verhoudings (p=<0.01) - familie en maatskaplike ondersteuning (p=<0.1) Vervolgens het die meeste van die deelnemers (53.8%) met PND (n=80) ’n geskiedenis van ’n psigiatriese siekte met ’n beduidenis (p=<0.01), die meeste van die deelnemers (63.5%) is ongetroud en 23.8% is tieners wat aan PND ly. Aanbevelings sluit die bevordering van gesonde leefstyle, die bemagtiging van vrouens, voorkoming van tienerswangerskappe, vroeë en holistiese assessering van simptome van PND in en die aangewese verwysing. Daar kan tot die slotsom gekom word dat voorkoming- en bevorderingsmaatstawwe, vroeë opsporing van PND en aangewese verwysings en behandeling, krities is in die hantering van moeder-, kind- en gesinswelstand.

Os períodos de gestação e puerpério nem sempre são marcados por alegrias e realizações. É exatamente nesta fase que muitas mulheres experimentam alterações importantes do humor e/ou ansiedade, sendo o pós-parto o período de maior vulnerabilidade para o aparecimento de transtornos psiquiátricos. Apesar de ser hoje uma das condições clínicas mais estudadas da psiquiatria e de ser bastante conhecida na prática clínica, a depressão pós-parto ainda não apresenta consensos conceituais e metodológicos importantes para um maior grau de confiabilidade no diagnóstico e na comparação de dados de pesquisas. Assim, esta pesquisa busca minimizar a carência de uniformização e consenso a respeito deste tema tão relevante. Este estudo corresponde a uma revisão sistemática descritiva, no qual foram utilizados três bancos de dados: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em ciências da saúde (LILACS) e foram incluídos os artigos originais em língua inglesa, nos últimos 5 anos até 30 de junho de 2014, em humanos do sexo feminino. Foram excluídos os artigos não originais, os artigos de revisão e os relatos ou séries de casos. Após a exclusão dos artigos não pertinentes, restaram 356 que foram avaliados por dois revisores e apenas 154 artigos preencheram os critérios de inclusão. O resultado evidencia uma grande heterogeneidade nos instrumentos de pesquisa, com 38 instrumentos de triagem, diagnóstico e avaliação distintos. A verificação do instrumento principal dos estudos, registra uma predominância do Edimburg Depression Postpatum Scale (EPDS) em cerca de 65% dos artigos, apresentando pontos de corte com uma variação total de 7 a 20 e predominância entre 12 e 13. Quanto ao tempo, verifica-se que a maior parte das aferições dos instrumentos foram realizadas no primeiro trimestre do puerpério (45%), contudo foram grandes os percentuais de registros fora deste período, 43% acima de 3 meses do puerpério e 12% durante a gestação. Em relação aos períodos com maior prevalência de casos após o nascimento, constata-se que 65% encontra-se nos primeiros 3 meses após o parto e 35% após os 3 meses. Desta forma, apesar de se averiguar uma heterogeneidade significativa entre os estudos, há uma predominância do EPDS como método de triagem mais utilizado. Já em relação ao tempo, os resultados indicam que ele está muito além do que atualmente é preconizado nos manuais diagnósticos, com episódios depressivos desde a gestação até o período de um ano após o parto, relacionando-se ao nascimento do filho. Os resultados deste estudo ajudam a diminuir as discordâncias metodológicas e conceituais sobre as depressões relacionadas ao parto e podem embasar políticas em saúde para melhorar as estratégias na busca de um diagnóstico mais preciso e precoce e, desta forma, ajudar na prevenção e assistência às mães acometidas por essa enfermidade.
Periods of pregnancy and postpartum are not always marked by joys and achievements. It is precisely at this stage that many women experience major changes of mood and / or anxiety, and the postpartum period has the greatest vulnerability to the onset of psychiatric disorders. Although it is now one of the most studied clinical conditions of psychiatry and being well known in clinical practice, the postpartum depression still does not present conceptual and methodological consensus important for a greater degree of reliability in the diagnosis and the data comparison of survey. Therefore, this research seeks to minimize the lack of standardization and consensus on this issue as relevant. This study represents a descriptive systematic review, in which was used three databases: PubMed / MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and original articles were included in English in the last five years until June 30, 2014, in human females. Non-original articles, review articles and reports or case series were excluded. After exclusion of irrelevant articles, remaining 356 that were evaluated by two reviewers and only 154 articles met the inclusion criteria. The result shows a great heterogeneity in research tools, with 38 screening tools, diagnostic and distinct evaluation. Verification of the main instrument of the studies, reports a prevalence of Edimburg Depression Postpatum Scale (EPDS) in about 65% of the articles, with cutoff points with a total variation 7-20 and prevalence between 12 and 13. As for the time, it appears that most of the instruments measurements were carried out in the first quarter of the puerperium (45%), however, were large percentage of the records outside of this period, 43% over 3 months postpartum and 12% during pregnancy. For periods with higher prevalence of cases after birth, it appears that 65% is the first 3 months after delivery and 35% after 3 months. Thus, although to ascertain significant heterogeneity between studies, there is a predominance of the EPDS as the most used screening method. In relation to time, the results indicate that it is far beyond what is currently recommended in the diagnostic manual, with depressive episodes from pregnancy to one year after delivery, relating to the birth of the child. The results of this study help to decrease the methodological and conceptual disagreements over the depressions related to childbirth and can to base health policies to improve the strategies in the search for a more accurate diagnosis and early and thus help prevent and assistance to affected mothers by this disease.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This review examines the medical model's conceptualisation of postnatal depression (pND) from a feminist perspective. The arguments are fourfold: Firstly, it argues that the fundamental problem underlying the concept of PND is its conception as existing on a continuum with psychosis at the most severe end and maternity blues at the least severe end. The link with psychosis implies that it is potentially pathological requiring medical and psychiatric intervention. On the other hand its link with maternity blues gives scientific credence to continued research on emotional sequelae of reproduction that are below the psychiatric threshold of urgency. Secondly, the medical model's construction of PND implies that women are predisposed to mental illness because of their ability to bear children and thus pathologises normal experiences of childbirth. Thirdly, the medical model's preoccupation with classification and categorisation has become little more than an exercise in labeling that has removed women from their own experiences. Focusing on birth as an activity that is separate from the rest of pregnancy objectify women and ignores the socio-political context within which they give birth and care for their infants. Fourthly, it is argued that a different way of researching postpartum mood disorders is necessary to overcome a reductionistic and pathological model of childbirth. This is important if healthcare delivery hopes to provide adequate treatment for all women in the postnatal period. Especially in South Africa, where the dominant culture has for many years defined the experiences of the 'other', it is important to generate research that should include the 'voices' of the 'other' to prevent hegemonic practice from assuming an expert understanding of PND. This review does not deny the contributions from the medical establishment, but argues that a critique of its underlying assumptions is important to prevent women from being further marginalised by ignoring the socio-political context in which their lives are embedded. The implications for research within South Africa are also addressed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie oorsig ondersoek die mediese model se konseptualisering van postnatale depressie vanuit 'n feministiese perspektief. Die argument is vierledig: Eerstens blyk die konseptualisering van postnatale depressie, naamlik dat dit op 'n kontinuum bestaan, met psigose aan die mees disfunksionele kant en 'maternity blues' aan die minder ernstige kant, 'n fundamentele, onderliggende probleem te wees. Die verband met psigose impliseer dat postnatale depressie potensieel patologies is en mediese en psigiatriese insette benodig. Die verband met 'maternity blues' aan die ander kant, bied wetenskaplike begronding vir volgehoue navorsing op die gebied van emosionele aspekte van kindergeboorte wat nie van psigiatriese belang is nie. Tweedens impliseer die mediese model se konstruksie van postnatale depressie dat vroue 'n predisposisie tot geestessiektes het bloot deur die feit dat hulle die vermoë het om kinders voort te bring. Sodoende word patologiese kenmerke gekoppel aan normale ervarings van kindergeboorte. Derdens het die mediese model se beheptheid met klassifikasie en kategorisering verval in etikettering wat vroue van hul eie ervarings vervreem. Deur te fokus op geboorte as 'n aktiwiteit wat verwyder is van die res van swangerskap maak van vroue objekte wat verwyderd is van die sosio-politieke konteks waarbinne hulle geboorte skenk en sorg vir hul babas. Vierdens word dit beredeneer dat 'n nuwe benadering tot navorsing oor postpartum gemoedsteurings daar gestel behoort te word om 'n reduksionistiese en patologiese model van kindergeboorte te voorkom. Dit is belangrik as gesondheidsorgdienste hoop om toereikende behandeling te bied vir alle vroue in die postnatale periode. Veral in Suid-Afrika, waar 'n dominante kultuurgroep vir so lank die ervarings van ander omskryf het, is dit belangrik om navorsing voort te bring wat die 'stemme' van die 'ander' insluit om sodoende te verhoed dat die heersende praktykvoeringe van die dag 'n eensydige deskundige-verstaan van postnatale depressie voorveronderstel. Hierdie oorsig ontken nie die bydraes van die mediese model nie, maar beredeneer die feit dat 'n kritiese beskouing van die onderliggende aannames belangrik is om sodoende te verhoed dat vroue verder gemarginaliseer word deurdat die sosio-politieke konteks waarin hul lewens gegrond is, buite rekening gelaat word. Die implikasies vir navorsing binne 'n Suid-Afrikaanse konteks word dus ook ondersoek.
