This study will evaluate the effectiveness of group interpersonal psychotherapy for preventing postpartum depression in pregnant women with depression and for improving healthy outcomes in their babies.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Group interpersonal therapy (IPT)

Group IPT will include weekly treatment sessions with a psychiatrist for 12 weeks. The sessions will focus on overcoming relationship problems associated with depression. The first two and last sessions will be alone with the psychiatrist and the remaining sessions will be with a group of five to eight other pregnant women.

BEHAVIORAL

Treatment as usual (TAU)

TAU will include referrals to outpatient treatment, which may include cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, insight-oriented psychotherapy, and/or antidepressant medication. TAU participants receiving psychotherapy will attend 12 weekly treatment sessions comparable to the IPT group sessions; treatment for TAU participants receiving medication for their depression may last longer than 12 weeks.
