description Aims: Postnatal Depression (PND) is the most prevalent mental health disorder during the postpartum period. Evidence suggests that clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have the potential to improve the mental well-being of these women.

We aim to identify the existing CPGs for the management of PND and to collect the specific recommendations reported by them.
