Postpartum depression is a serious form of depression that occurs in approximately 1 in 7 women shortly after giving birth. Postpartum depression is caused by a combination of rising hormone levels and the stress of raising a child, leading a mom to feel sad, hopeless, and guilty. Synergy Research Centers strives to find an effective treatment for postpartum depression, currently running a postpartum depression clinical research study at our two San Diego locations.
After giving birth, life quickly gets very hectic. Suddenly you have a new human who is utterly dependent on you to survive. As a plethora of new responsibilities gets heaped upon you, the last thing you want to deal with is postpartum depression. Unfortunately, postpartum depression is increasingly common, with around 15% of new mothers experiencing symptoms of PPD. That is why Synergy Research Centers is offering a postpartum depression research study to find new treatments for PPD.
