Spotlight on: POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
CHALLENGES
About one in seven women in the U.S. experiences symptoms of postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is a condition that affects new mothers. Symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Suicidal thoughts
WHAT MAGEE-WOMENS SCIENTISTS ARE DOING
- We are studying ways to improve access to affordable, quality health care for women, especially women at risk.
- We are exploring the link between the health of pregnant individuals and the long-term health for both mother and child.
- We are evaluating the use of antidepressants with postpartum depression and whether this affects the mother or baby.
