Play plus talking therapy for postnatal depression in Nigeria
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines 'Learning Through Play' (a way to bond with your baby through play) with a type of talking therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), adapted for Nigerian mothers.
