Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the Prevention of Perinatal Depressive Relapse/Recurrence

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postpartum Depression, Pregnancy, Depression

In brief

Pregnant women with histories of depression are at high risk of depressive relapse/recurrence during the perinatal period, and options for relapse/recurrence prevention are limited. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has strong evidence among general populations but has not been studied among at risk pregnant women. This study is the second phase of a multi-phase project adapting MBCT for perinatal women (MBCT-PD).
