Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
History of major depression is the biggest risk factor for postpartum depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Psychotherapy along with antidepressants are the major treatments. Patients usually are not psychotic, so there is no need for antipsychotics, and hormone replacement is not indicated. Mother and baby should be kept together with added support from the family to ensure the baby is well cared for.
