A new study shows that depression following childbirth can begin at different times and follow multiple distinct trajectories, emphasizing the need for clinicians to monitor for signs of postpartum depression and be aware of risk factors that may predispose a new mother to depression. The study, "Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Throughout the Peri- and Postpartum Period: Results from the First Baby Study (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/jwh.2015.5310)," is published in Journal of Women's Health, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers.
