[Objective] To explore and analyze the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with antidepressants on depressive symptoms in postpartum depression patients. [Methods] From April 2017 to May 2019, 150 patients with postpartum depression were randomly divided into two groups, 75 cases each. Both groups were treated with antidepressants, while the study group was treated with cognitive behavioral therapy. The depressive mood of the two groups before and after treatment was compared and observed, the clinical efficacy was evaluated, the adverse reactions were counted, and the cognitive structure was evaluated according to the dysfunctional status assessment scale (DAS). [Result] Firstly, the SDS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group after treatment, with statistical difference (P < 0.05); secondly, the HAMD score of the study group was lower than that of the control group after treatment, with statistical difference (P < 0.05); thirdly, the total effective rate of the study group was 96% (72/75), and that of the control group was 84% (63/75). There was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=8.000, P=0.004). Fourth, there were 4 adverse reactions in the study group and 3 adverse reactions in the control group. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions (χ2= 190, P=0.662). Fifth, the DAS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group after treatment, and there was statistical difference between the two groups. Difference (P < 0.05). [Conclusion] Cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with antidepressants can relieve postpartum depression symptoms, which has a significant effect and is recommended to be popularized.
