Abstract
There appear to be limited studies published relating to the use of art therapy to alleviate symptoms when a woman has been diagnosed with postnatal depression (PND). PND is a mood disorder associated with childbirth and a significant public health concern. Art therapies are recognised as a complementary option of care and treatment for women who are clinically diagnosed with PND and may contribute to healing following birth trauma.
