While 75 per cent of new moms experience the “baby blues” after giving birth, some fall into a deeper depression that can include intense feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of suicide.

Discoveries like this will transform the way society approaches postpartum care—a fundamental shift away from “how do we treat this?" to “how can we prevent it?”
