Depression is highly prevalent in women of childbearing age, especially during the postpartum period. Early recognition and treatment improve outcomes for mother, developing fetus, and infant. Caution is warranted when prescribing antidepressants to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, but evidence is mounting that the risks of untreated maternal depression outweigh those of pharmacologic treatment for it.
抑郁症在育龄妇女中高发，尤其是在产后期间。早期识别和治疗可以改善母婴和婴儿的结局。在给孕妇和哺乳期妇女开抗抑郁药时需要谨慎，但越来越多的证据表明，未治疗的产妇抑郁症的风险大于药物治疗的风险。
