FDA APPROVED: Doctors say postpartum depression is a condition that can start during pregnancy with symptoms such as feelings of sadness, guilt, loss of energy and difficulty sleeping.
The study found that when taken twice daily for two weeks, women with severe postpartum depression experienced “significant improvements in depressive symptoms” compared to those who were given a placebo.
Researchers say that the women who took the medication saw relief in as early as three days. The study also stated that those improvements were still reported 28 and 45 days later.Share this story
