Method: Qualitative study that had as a guiding theoretical referential the Symbolic Interactionism and as a methodological referential the Grounded Theory. The participants of this study were women who had post-partum depression and their families, recruited through public hospitals and basic health units in the municipality of Cuiabá-MT. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with the woman and family. Results: The theoretical model "Oscillating between the support and the need to maintain control" represents the perceptions and strategies present in the experience of the woman and her family aiming at adapting family life to the circumstances of life affected by depression.
