Thanks to Kathryn Fink for hosting an episode focusing on perinatal depression on NPR’s 1A Live. One of the guests is Dr. Kristina Deligiannidis; she discusses the new medication zuranolone for the treatment of postpartum depression. While we are all excited about the release of zuranolone, she and the other guests highlight the importance of improving access to services dedicated to perinatal mental health and increasing the diversity of the providers in this space.
