Postpartum Depression (PPD) affects approximately 15% of new mothers and can also occur in fathers. It differs from the 'baby blues' in its severity and duration. Left untreated, PPD can affect mother-infant bonding and child development. Highly treatable with therapy, medication, and support — most women see significant improvement within weeks of starting treatment.

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