Abstract
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a common yet underdiagnosed mental health issue affecting new mothers globally.

This article aims to explore the key factors contributing to postpartum depression, identify effective screening methods, and discuss early intervention strategies, including pharmacological and psychological treatments. It also emphasizes the importance of community awareness and the involvement of healthcare professionals in providing timely support.
