Postpartum depression or postpartum depression is experienced by mothers who get more pressure in their lives after giving birth. A mother who is not ready mentally, physically, economically and spiritually is very vulnerable to experiencing postpartum depression. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative which seeks to describe a social phenomenon, where the data collected is first explained, then analyzed and formulated. This study aims to show the role of pastoral counseling for mothers who experience depression, specifically for adolescents aged less than 20 years. A woman who will give birth should be aged 20 years and over in order to reduce the depressions that appear and other disorders.
