Maternal Depression is a clinical disorder which effects approximately 10-15% of childbearing aged women and typically assessed within the first year of her infant's birth. Various factors such as culture, language competency, access to mental health services, and adequate financial resources impact whether women are diagnosed and treated.

This is an exploration of a disturbing trend among Latinas and their families.
