Postpartum mental health conditions are highly prevalent: baby blues affect up to 50–80% of new mothers, postpartum depression (PPD) 10–20%, postpartum anxiety disorders 15–21%. Postpartum psychosis, though rare (0.1–0.26%), requires urgent intervention. While baby blues resolve spontaneously, untreated PPD has major consequences for maternal functioning, infant development and the wellbeing of the entire family. Psychiatric history, low social support, sleep disruption, stressful life events are established risk factors. Importantly, cessation of breastfeeding is not an effective treatment for PPD or postpartum psychosis and should be considered only as a last resort. Strengthening primary care capacity in early detection, supportive communication and timely intervention can significantly reduce the burden of postpartum mental health disorders.Perform accurate, efficient screening using validated primary-care tools.  • Differentiate baby blues, PPD, postpartum anxiety, postpartum psychosis by symptoms, onset and course.  • Implement brief, evidence-informed psychosocial strategies feasible in routine consultations.  • Select safe, breastfeeding-compatible pharmacotherapy.  • Strengthen understanding of breastfeeding benefits to support WHO-recommended duration.The workshop combines concise expert input with active, gamified learning. A short Kahoot quiz introduces key concepts and  misconceptions. Participants work through a stepwise clinical vignette to practise screening + differential diagnosis. Small groups complete an “intervention design challenge,” assembling cut-up medication tables based on evidence and breastfeeding compatibility. Tools such as a distorted-lens exercise, self-critical statements help participants explore maladaptive thoughts, practise simple reframing and supportive communication. A facilitated discussion reviews stepped-care options, safety and referral pathways.

Strengthening competence in early identification and management has the potential to significantly reduce the individual, familial,  societal burden of postpartum mental health disorders.Integrating structured screening, supportive communication, evidence-based interventions into primary care is essential to improve outcomes for mothers, infants and families.
