Where this lesson comes from
- Sockol LE (2015). A systematic review of the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for treating and preventing perinatal depression. Journal of Affective Disorders, 177, 7 to 21.
- Wisner KL, Sit DKY, McShea MC, and others (2013). Onset timing, thoughts of self-harm, and diagnoses in postpartum women with screen-positive depression findings. JAMA Psychiatry, 70(5), 490. The reason the course does not attempt to differentiate between conditions.
- NICE guidance on antenatal and postnatal mental health, as summarised in the BMJ, on immediate referral to a secondary mental health service, preferably a specialist perinatal service, for assessment within four hours, and on the two depression identification questions used as an opening in services. The four hour standard is a UK figure. Help routing must be locale aware and must not hardcode a single country's service.
- Howard LM, Khalifeh H (2020). Perinatal mental health: a review of progress and challenges. World Psychiatry, 19(3), 313 to 327. Background on services and on what a first appointment involves.
