چکیده

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a leading mental health disorder among millions of new mothers worldwide. The syndrome itself entails symptoms such as poor mood, anxiety, and pervasive fatigue in general. The condition impacts negatively on the maternal bond and general well-being for both mother and child. Conventional treatments for PPD primarily consist of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. However, a great many women seek alternatives or complements to treatment because of concerns regarding medication side effects and stigma associated with mental health. This review will systematically assess these herbs, their effectiveness, and their role in the framework of comprehensive treatment.۲. Search Strategy:A thorough targeted search was conducted on scientific websites, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase, using keywords related to the topics of interest: postpartum depression and herbal therapies. Articles were identified from ۲۰۱۰ to ۲۰۲۴ that were relevant to this topic; out of these, ۳۲ were considered relevant, and ۱۲ articles were selected for further consideration.۳. Results:Our literature search showed that the following herbs may act effectively on postpartum depression through mechanisms to be highlighted:St. John's wort enhances serotonin activity, promoting neurotransmitter function.Ashwagandha reduces stress and anxiety, showing significant mood improvements in postpartum women after eight weeks of use.Saffron, particularly its compound crocin, boosts serotonergic activity, contributing to its antidepressant effects.Chamomile is linked to reduced anxiety and depression, with postpartum women reporting better sleep and lower depression scores after taking it.Ginseng exhibits adaptogenic and neuroprotective benefits, with some studies indicating it helps lower depression and improve energy levels in postpartum women.۴. Conclusion and Discussion:Medicinal plants are a potentially valuable resource for the management of postpartum depression and serve as adjunctive therapies to conventional therapies.
