title: Assessing and managing women with depression: a midwifery perspective.
abstract: Women are at disproportionate risk for depression. Depression often goes untreated because of lack of recognition by providers. The Institute of Medicine maintains that primary care providers are essential in the management of mental health disorders. The assessment and management of depression in women are sensitive topics and may require advanced training and skills.
