<p>Traditionally, the denial of postpartum depression in most developing countries was significant. However, as development progressed, mothers came to understand the importance of speaking out and seeking help. Social workers as change agents are competent in providing the support needed to prevent and cope with postpartum depression in mothers. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of mothers regarding postpartum depression and the coping strategies they adopted. The study utilized a qualitative design through social phenomenology. This phenomenological study adopted the explorative approach through in-depth interviews with 12 mothers who have experienced postpartum depression. Results indicated that physical, biological, and psychological factors were drivers of postpartum depression. Postpartum depression affects the mother, child, and the family in general, and social support and religious belief were the identified coping strategies employed by mothers in the study. The study recommends that human support be made readily available for mothers to ease the stress associated with motherhood. Social workers, as well, can offer counseling services and also educate the spouses of women about to put to bed to always show love and concern for these mothers.</p>
