A 2014 Cochrane Review aimed to assess the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs compared with any other treatment (psychological, psychosocial, or pharmacologic), placebo, or treatment as usual for postpartum depression. Randomized controlled trials of women with depression with onset up to 6 months postpartum, which compared antidepressant treatment with any other treatment, placebo, or treatment as usual were included in the study. A very limited body of evidence was available for this review. Results of pooled estimates of responses showed that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors were significantly more effective than placebo in treating postpartum depression.
