本研究的目的是探讨产后抑郁症（PND）治疗的接受程度和经验。十五名妇女接受治疗和支持，从社区精神卫生服务的PND进行了采访。访谈逐字转录，然后使用修改后的分析归纳法进行分析。接受访谈的大多数妇女在寻求和接受治疗之前已经达到了危机点。无法科普和成为一个坏母亲的耻辱成为早期寻求帮助的主要障碍。此外，妇女无法区分正常水平的产后痛苦和可能需要干预的抑郁症状。与保健专业人员和其他母亲谈论她们的痛苦和经历，被认为是恢复过程中的头等大事。
Our objective in this qualitative study was to investigate the acceptance and experience of treatment for postnatal depression (PND). Fifteen women who had received treatment and support from the community mental health service for PND were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and then analyzed using the modified analytic induction method. The majority of women interviewed had reached crisis point before they sought and received treatment. The stigma attached to an inability to cope and being a bad mother emerged as the main barrier to seeking help earlier. In addition, women were unable to differentiate between normal levels of postpartum distress and depressive symptoms that might require intervention. Talking about their distress and experiences, both with health professionals and other mothers, was regarded as of primary importance in the recovery process.
