Abstract

1. Postpartum depression is a culture-bound syndrome found in Western societies. The lack of supportive rites and rituals for postpartum women shape depressive symptoms. 2.

Treatment issues surrounding each postpartum affective disorder are different and require education and support of family members as well as postpartum women.
