Résumé
Postpartum depression affects around 12% of mothers in developed countries, with consequences for the whole family. Many women with depressive symptoms remain undetected and untreated. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent women with depressive symptoms at 6 weeks postpartum are identified by the healthcare system, the interventions they received, and remission rates at 6 months postpartum. Postpartum women scoring 12-30 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 6 weeks after delivery ( Most women ( Despite screening guidelines, many women with depressive symptoms had no documentation of screening or interventions by the healthcare system. Furthermore, a significant proportion did not achieve remission despite interventions. Being identified by CHS was associated with the largest reduction of symptoms. Research is needed to understand gaps in the healthcare processes, to better identify peripartum depression.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite screening guidelines, many women with depressive symptoms had no documentation of screening or interventions by the healthcare system. Furthermore, a significant proportion did not achieve remission despite interventions. Being identified by CHS was associated with the largest reduction of symptoms. Research is needed to understand gaps in the healthcare processes, to better identify peripartum depression.
