Postpartum Depression Treatment Study

Here we share evidence-based information on postpartum depression and its effect on infant emotional development.

We provide opportunities to be involved in research on non-medication treatments in Southern Ontario Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 1 in 5 mothers and has a significant negative impact on them and their children. Emotion regulation (ER) is established in infancy and affects an infant’s development in functioning across cognitive, emotional, and behavioural aspects of their life. The sym

ptoms of postpartum depression usually appear within the first few weeks or months after childbirth, but they can occur at any time in the first postpartum year. These can include:
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Feeling sad and tearful
• A loss of interest or pleasure
• Anxiety or excessive worry
• Having trouble concentrating
• Feeling hopeless, frustrated, or angry
• Having difficulties connecting with the baby

This page is run by a research group from McMaster University and aims to share new information about postpartum depression and its effect on infant emotional development. We offer opportunities to learn about and participate in exciting new research in the field. Currently, we are recruiting women in the Southern Ontario who have been feeling depressed since the birth of their baby to participate in a study of a non-medication treatment for postpartum depression.

You may be eligible if you are a mother living in Southern Ontario, are 18 years old and over, and have an infant 3-12 months old.
