The Massachussetts General Hospital Center for Women's Mental Health is conducting a new study titled "Escitalopram (Lexapro) for the treatment of postpartum depresson". It is a 2-month open label trial of Lexapro for women who have been feeling depressed and anxious since giving birth. Women would need to be able to go into the Boston office 5 times over a period of 2 months. If you are between the ages of 18 and 45, gave birth within the past six months, began to feel depressed and anxious within 3 months of giving birth, are not currently taking an antidepressant and are not breastfeeding, you may be eligible to participate in this research study evaluating how an FDA-approved antidepressant helps treat depression after childbirth. Women who participate will receive study medication and evaluations of their mood at no cost and will be compensated up to $150 over the course of the 8-week study. For information call 617-724-6989 or email kdonovan8@partners.org.
