Emerging research on the biology of postpartum depression is
showing how little it resembles other severe mood disorders in the
brain and body. Understanding these differences could be key to
better screening, detection and treatment. Science journalist Marla
Broadfoot is on our show to talk about her story in the December
edition of our magazine, in which she focuses on one woman’s quest
for treatment and the personal cure from postpartum depression that
this individual found in a promising new drug. E-mail us at
