Article Synopsis
  • Egsgaard et al. (2024) explore the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) in parents of twins compared to those with singletons, noting the need for more research on factors like social support and cultural influences.
  • The study aims to examine how structured postpartum care, delivery methods (like cesarean sections), and mother-infant bonding can affect PPD risk, particularly in different cultural settings.
  • The findings suggest that these factors might clarify the gender-specific patterns of PPD and highlight the importance of including sociocultural and clinical variables in future research to improve interventions for twin parents at risk.
