Weekly alert: Postpartum depression

Following the FDA approval of the first postpartum depression pill on August 4, iHeard asked St. Louisans if they had heard about the approval. Almost three in ten (29%) said “yes.”
Postpartum depression is a medical condition where a woman feels sad, anxious, and tired after giving birth. It can make it difficult for mothers to take care of themselves or the baby and, in severe cases, can even be life-threatening.
