  4. Assessment • Risk Factors • Questions to Ask • What medications (prescription and nonprescription), herbs or vitamins are you taking on a regular basis? • What is your personal and/or family history of mood problems (including prenatal or postpartum), substance abuse, alcoholism or eating disorders? • Have you experienced any miscarriages or other loss(es) of a child? • How is your appetite?  What are you eating/drinking? • Are you able to sleep at night when your baby is sleeping? • What to Watch and Listen for

  5. Treatment and Prevention • Education • Sleep • Nutrition

  6. Treatment and Prevention • Exercise • Emotional Support • Physical Support

  7. Benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil During Pregnancy and Postpartum Research Findings • ACPsy - Reviews the importance of omega-3 fats in various mental health conditions MP Freeman. Omega-3 fatty acids in psychiatry: a review. Ann Clin Psychiatry 2000;12(3):159–165 • Reduction in DHA post-partum is improved with supplementation, and DHA levels are reduced whether breastfeeding or not  Makrides M, Gibson R. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid requirements during pregnancy and lactation. Am J Clin Nutr 2000;71:307–311 • Fish oil helped reduce depression in pregnancy, preliminary study  Freeman M, Hibbeln J, Wisner K, et al. An open trial of Omega-3 fatty acids for depression in pregnancy . Acta Neuropsychiatrica 2006;18(1):21–24. • LSci - Women with postpartum depression shown to have lower levels of omega-3 fats, suggests taking fish oil for prevention  SR De Vriese, AB Christophe, and M Maes. Lowered serum n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels predict the occurrence of postpartum depression: further evidence that lowered n-PUFAs are related to major depression. Life Sci, 2003;73(25):3181–318 • JAD - Study shows, low DHA levels and low seafood consumption is associated with postpartum depression  Hibbeln JR. Seafood consumption, the DHA content of mothers' milk and prevalence rates of postpartum depression: a cross-national, ecological analysis. J Affect Disord,2002;69(1-3):15–29

  8. Omega 3 Fish Oil: Broader Applications EPA and DHA occur together in foods, they work together in the body, they help balance effects of high omega-6 in the diet, and they contribute unique benefits • Heart • Supports healthful lipid levels • Maintains smooth blood vessels • Promotes fit heart function with aging • Joints • Supports joint flexibility • Reduces swelling • Immune • Promotes healthy cell functioning • Strengthens immune response • Fitness • Supports healthy metabolism • Brain • Improves mood & behavior • Supports healthy nervous system • Enhances memory, clear thinking • Eyes • Essential for good eye health • Slows decline of vision • Mother and Child • Essential for infant brain and vision • Promotes healthy delivery

  9. Quality Matters • Fish oil highly prone to oxidation, must be processed in a nitrogen environment • Fish repeat/burp due to rancid, poorly manufactured oil • Consumption of free radical catalyzed oils is harmful to the body • Effective distillation process critical to removing impurities
