MedPage Today (3/6, DePeau-Wilson ) reports, “Intravenous esketamine given during and after C-section diminished postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms early after birth, a randomized controlled trial in China showed.” Investigators found that “women who received IV esketamine had a significantly lower prevalence of PPD symptoms 7 days after birth compared with those who didn’t get the drug.” But, “there were no differences in PPD symptoms between groups at days 14, 28, or 42 after birth.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
