Proposal
Through this literature review, we aim to explore the effects and stigma of Postpartum Depression (PPD) on mothers and their children using scholarly sources, articles, and written experiences from people who have dealt with PPD or have had a loved one who had it. Our literature review includes how stigma against PPD affects mothers, how the church has and can better respond, methods (medicine and therapy) of treatment for PPD, and the practice implications for social workers. This literature review will help explain the significance of needing more education, training, research, and support in the field of social work in relation to mothers dealing with Postpartum Depression.
