In continuing coverage, CNN (9/12, Scutti) reports, “Screening mothers for depression during early well-child visits led to significantly fewer reports of depression at nine months postpartum,” researchers found after studying some 3,000 women in the Netherlands. The study revealed that only “3% of the screened mothers experienced minor or major depression at nine months postpartum, compared with 8.4% of the mothers who weren’t screened during the visits.” The findings were published online Sept. 12 in Pediatrics. Psychiatric News (9/11) also covered the story.
