Article Synopsis
- Depression, particularly postpartum depression (PPD), impacts about one in seven women globally and can affect the mother-child bond and the newborn's development.
- This study focuses on the effects of ketamine as a treatment for PPD in lactating rat mothers, evaluating its safety and effects on the cardiovascular system and behavior during maternal separation stress.
- Results indicate that ketamine could be a safe option for treating postpartum depression without causing harm to the cardiovascular or urinary systems of lactating mothers.
