Synthetic Oxytocin and Maternal Postpartum Depression
Future research is needed to investigate the onset and duration of PPD using standardized definitions and assess the potential dose-dependent effects of synOT on maternal PPD outcomes. Furthermore, additional studies are needed to examine the cumulative effect of multiple birth interventions and the influence of synOT on the maternal endogenous oxytocin system to better understand individual susceptibilities to PPD.
