Study looks to help more new mothers with postpartum depression

(Michigan State University) One in seven mothers suffers from postpartum depression, but for low-income women, the rate is more than twice as high. Backed by a $3.6 million National Institutes of Health grant, a Michigan State University researcher is looking to reduce that discrepancy by determining the most effective way of expanding a preventative program that has already shown it can cut the postpartum depression rate among these women in half.
