Abstract
Assessing for the psychosocial status and management of risks for post-partum depression among
pregnant mothers is an indispensable aspect of peri-partum care. Two groups of mothers were assessed
for post-partum depression, one having gone through the routine antenatal care, and one having been
taken through supplementary teaching on emotional management, social support, health lifestyle,
economic empowerment, and group therapy.
