“…Research on empirically or clinically relevant subtypes of perinatal depressive symptoms has been a focus of targeted medicine, such as acupuncture for depression (Manber et al, ) and the development of PPD‐targeted drugs (Pearson, ; Therapeutics, ). Some studies have focused on psychological interventions that may prevent or improve perinatal depression, such as cognitive behaviorial therapy (Hou et al, ), mindfulness‐based interventions (Dimidjian et al, ) and sleep quality interventions (Gjerdingen et al, ; Kempler, Sharpe, Miller, & Bartlett, ; Lawson, Murphy, Sloan, Uleryk, & Dalfen, ), in response to fear of the teratogenic effects of pharmacological intervention. However, to the best of our knowledge, a targeted treatment approach has not yet been identified.…”

“…Hou et al [69] reported that CBT in combination with systematic family therapy can improve mild to moderate postpartum depression. A randomized controlled trial [70] compared the effectiveness of a physical fitness exercise program and CBT in elderly depressed patients, and the results revealed that the CBT group gained more perceived social support and alleviation of depressive symptoms, whereas better improvement in energy and quality of life was reported in the fitness exercise group.…”
