Postpartum Depression Pipeline Outlook

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe mood disorder that typically develops after childbirth but can also arise during late pregnancy. It is characterized by persistent sadness, anxiety, guilt, fatigue, and loss of interest in daily activities, often caused by hormonal changes, emotional stress, and physical exhaustion. PPD can disrupt the maternal-infant bond and affect both the mother's and child’s overall well-being.

Treatment for postpartum depression includes antidepressant medications, hormonal therapy, and psychotherapy to restore emotional balance and improve quality of life. In August 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Zurzuvae (zuranolone), the first oral medication for PPD, developed by Sage Therapeutics, Inc., representing a major milestone in the postpartum depression treatment landscape and expanding therapeutic accessibility for affected women.

Postpartum Depression Epidemiology

According to Samar A. Amer et al., 2024, postpartum depression (PPD) affects around 10% of women after childbirth, with nearly 50% of cases remaining undiagnosed. As per global estimates, the prevalence is about 17.22%, reaching up to 15% in eighty different countries. According to Sajna Panolan et al., 2024, the overall prevalence of PPD in India is 22%, with the highest rate of 26% in southern regions and the lowest rate of 15% in northern regions. As per Nehaa Khadka et al., 2024, global prevalence ranges between 10% and 20%, and about 13% in the United States. These statistics highlight the pressing need for improved screening and therapeutic interventions in postpartum care.
