Brazeau, N., Reisz, S., Jacobvitz, D. and George, C. Infant Ment. Health J 2018; 39: 30–43. doi:10.1002/imhj.21692

Fortunately, emotional support for mothers suffering postnatal depression can buffer them from low self-efficacy. These results support the early identification and management of postnatal depression.
