As Postnatal Depression (PND) Awareness Week draws to a close today were pleased to announce that a beyondblue funded world-first trial of online treatment for PND has resulted in a dramatic improvement for more than 70% of participants. MumMoodBooster is made up of online sessions, videos, and discussion forums for both mums and their partners. Each year in Australia, about 40,000 women experience postnatal depression by the time their baby is three months old. More than 50% don’t seek help because they worry that they will be seen as a failure, don’t know the signs of depression or are concerned about passing medications to the baby through breastmilk. The MumMoodBooster study shows that an online program with interactive options, supported by some telephone coaching, is a very effective way of treating PND. MumMoodBooster is currently seeking new mums who may be struggling to cope for an ongoing treatment trial. To register or find out more head to: mummoodbooster or contact (03) 9496 4496. #bePNDaware
