Abstract
The association of weaning with depression has long been recognized. However, interest in the study of post-weaning depression has waned over the last few decades partly due to changes in the nosology of perinatal psychiatric disorders. In this paper, we review the relevant literature and conclude that post-weaning depression is a rare but severe complication of breastfeeding cessation. Given that post-weaning depression is an understudied and often undiagnosed clinical condition, research is needed to address this important unmet need.
