This systematic review examines the efficacy of non-medical interventions, yoga, social support groups, andkangaroo care, on women who experience Postpartum Depression(PPD) to determine the utility for use inoccupational therapy intervention. Benefits of these non-medical interventions included decreased depressivesymptoms and improved mood postpartum. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to understand thebenefits of non-medical interventions for perinatal clients. Search engines included CINAHL, Cochrane Library,PubMed, and Scopus. Initial searches yielded 110 articles based on specified search terms. After screening withinclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 articles were selected. Strong evidence supports the use of yoga in reducingsymptoms of PPD. Moderate evidence supports the use of social support groups and kangaroo care as effectiveinterventions in reducing PPD symptoms.
