It builds on another Cedars-Sinai effort, started in 2014, to screen all admitted patients for depression. Through the program, nurses evaluate new mothers for postpartum depression one or two days after giving birth but before the women leave the hospital. The evaluation includes having patients answer the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire, considered a reliable and effective clinical tool for measuring symptoms of depression.

New mothers are asked a range of questions, including whether they are feeling down, depressed or hopeless. Other questions are designed to gauge a woman's self-esteem after childbirth, asking if she feels bad about herself, feels like a failure or thinks she is letting her family down in any way.

If the screening does not reveal any persistent symptoms of postpartum depression, women still are offered a pamphlet with guidance and resources in case they encounter problems after leaving the hospital. For new mothers showing signs of moderate to severe depression, the program offers referrals for interventions that can include talk therapy, support groups, medication and lifestyle changes to improve sleep, exercise and diet. ″If they want to consult a psychiatric social worker while at the hospital, we can arrange it,″ said Eynav Accortt, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a clinical psychologist.

″If a new mom is reluctant to seek help, our nurse can make sure the woman's personal obstetrician is made aware of concerns we have about the risk for postpartum depression and suggest that the doctor discuss this during the first postpartum visit or sooner." Postpartum depression often goes unrecognized or untreated by healthcare providers. The condition involves more than just new mothers feeling tired or overwhelmed for a short time-symptoms include feelings of prolonged sadness, irritability or anger, disruptions in eating and sleeping habits, or a mother's inability to take care of her new baby or herself. These symptoms can persist for weeks or months.

Additional challenges to diagnosing and treating the illness come from stigma and shame women can feel if they are unable to cope after giving birth, experts explain. ″So many women are suffering silently," Accortt said. ″If we can routinely screen for depression when women are in our care, we can get them the help they need." The emphasis in the new program is not just on screening, but also on connecting women with resources to help them overcome their illness.
