Episode New Hope for Treating Postpartum Depression?
Emerging research on the biology of postpartum depression is showing how little it resembles other severe mood disorders in the brain and body.

Science journalist Marla Broadfoot is on our show to talk about her story in the December edition of our magazine, in which she focuses on one woman’s quest for treatment and the personal cure from postpartum depression that this individual found in a promising new drug.
