Clinical management: Clinical management includes treatment as usual for those receiving medication for depression. Mothercrafting: Mother-crafting techniques are keyed to the baby's age and development. The mother-crafting component is aimed at providing relevant information about infant care
2 (Sertraline)
Participants receiving active medication sertraline with clinical management plus mothercrafting Sertraline: Participants assigned to sertraline treatment will take 25 to 50 mg daily for Weeks 1 through 3, and dosage will be increased to 100 to 150 mg daily in Weeks 4 through 10. Participants will be titrated up to 200 mg daily at Week 11 for the final 2 weeks of treatment. In addition, at each week participants will receive specific "mother-crafting" techniques keyed to the baby's age and development.
