Abstract

This year’s first issue of APP appears with a variety of relevant clinical topics presented by nine groups of authors from different countries. It opens with two original articles raising awareness about postpartum mental health conditions. Anida Vrcić Amar and Hana Sejfović from Serbia presented correlations of reduced social support from partners, friends and family, difficult newborn temperament, and low socioeconomic status with postpartum depression. In the second paper, Sara Dalley and Catherine M. Hickey from Memorial University of Newfoundland show the effects of implementation of an educational session aimed at increasing awareness of the impact of breastfeeding on mental health and it’s possible protective influence on female’s mood.
