Abstract
ABSTRACT: Postpartum depression and diabetes are common diagnoses affecting many childbearing women annually. Nevertheless, disease management by the primary care provider can be complicated by late entry to care or insufficient care. Pharmacotherapeutic interventions must be initiated appropriately to address the disease progression while supporting breastfeeding. This study explores the course of postpartum depression and diabetes in a postpartum woman using the case study application and analysis along with interventions and education that can help primary care providers in reducing the complications that come from undiagnosed depression and diabetes in the postpartum period.
