"This trial aims to investigate if an online 9-week group therapy led by public health nurses and individuals who have recovered from postpartum depression is more effective in treating postpartum depression when added to
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals experiencing postpartum depression. Participants should be new mothers who can access online therapy sessions and are currently receiving standard treatment for PPD. The study excludes those with severe psychiatric conditions or other factors that would interfere with group therapy.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a 9-week online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program co-led by public health nurses and peers recovered from PPD, alongside usual care. It aims to see if this improves outcomes over standard care alone, considering anxiety, parenting stress, social support, and infant temperament.
What are the potential side effects?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is generally low-risk but may include temporary increases in distress due to discussing difficult topics, potential privacy concerns with online groups, and reliance on technology which might not suit everyone.
