Abstract

Women suffering from post-natal depression were interviewed about their symptoms, help-seeking behaviour and treatment. Over 90% recognized there was something wrong, but only one-third believed they were suffering from post-natal depression. Over 80% had not reported their symptoms to any health professional.
