Conclusions

Depression in new mothers is substantially more common than 10% to 15%

The effects of depression are severe—and potentially lethal. They are too serious to ignore

Depression is a direct threat to breastfeeding

Birth interventions can have a negative impact on both breastfeeding

and depression

There are many treatments that can help

Many mental health professionals are still not on board with breastfeeding
