Dr. Glynn Shares Findings on Pregnancy Hormone and Postpartum-Depression
Recent findings suggest a possible link between a placental hormone and postpartum depression. Science news website, LiveScience, spoke with Associate Professor Dr. Laura M. Glynn about her research on the stress hormone Placental Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (pCRH) and postpartum depression. Dr. Glynn’s study shows that the levels of pCRH could eventually help predict a woman’s
