Read the following case study

Natalie is a 32-year-old who gave birth to a healthy baby girl 12 weeks ago. Two years ago, she had a stillborn son. Natalie was initially very excited about the birth of her baby and thrilled to receive attention from extended family and friends. Over the past two weeks, she has become withdrawn, anxious, and feeling very guilty about the fact that this baby survived when her son did not. She has continued to breastfeed but feels "disconnected" from the baby. Natalie's only contact with health care providers since delivery has been her obstetrician for a 6-week follow-up and her daughter's pediatrician for the 1-month and 2-month well-baby visits. Natalie's mental health was not addressed at either visit. She has sought care with the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) because she is concerned about her mental health. Natalie has no history of a mental health diagnosis and is anxious about the stigma of seeking treatment for her low mood, especially since her mother-in-law told her that she should have "bounced back" by now.

1. Identify the appropriate screening tool for Natalie to complete during her first visit and discuss why the selected tool is appropriate for the client.

2. Natalie is diagnosed with peripartum depression. Identify the appropriate treatment for Natalie and discuss why the selected treatment is appropriate for the client. Natalie has concerns about the stigma associated with seeking mental health care. Discuss at least two strategies the PMHNP can use to address these concerns.

3. Examine the resources available at Postpartum Support International. Identify at least two specific resources from the website that are appropriate for Natalie and discuss why the selected resources are appropriate for the client.

4. Screenings for maternal mental health disorders are under or ineffectively used. Discuss at least two strategies for collaborating with providers in your community to offer screenings and appropriate referrals to mental health providers to promote better outcomes for maternal mental health.
