Forty percent of women who suffer depression after childbirth are abused either physically or emotionally by their partners, researchers in Australia said on Wednesday, calling on health workers to be more alert to such cases.
"That is a very important message to get out to health professionals," said Hannah Woolhouse at Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Victoria, Australia.
"If they are working with women with post-natal depression, they should consider the possibility that partner violence may be contributing to that."
