About Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression (PPD) is distinct from 'baby blues' and involves persistent depression, anxiety, or psychosis following childbirth. It affects approximately 15–20% of new mothers and can also occur in fathers and adoptive parents. Treatment includes SSRIs (many safe during breastfeeding), therapy, and in severe cases brexanolone (Zulresso). Early treatment leads to rapid recovery.

Postpartum Depression is highly treatable with the right care. Ambetter covers postpartum depression treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
