Effectiveness of psychological interventions for reducing depressive symptoms among women experiencing perinatal depression: a systematic review
Overview
This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of psychological interventions for perinatal depression in low- and middle-income countries, focusing on task-shared delivery by non-specialists such as community health workers and peers. The authors analyzed eleven studies involving over 4,800 women to assess outcomes related to depressive symptoms and maternal functioning. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in mental health service delivery models in resource-constrained settings.
