 This research found that postpartum depressed mothers have difficulty regulating their emotions when interacting with their babies which can lead to poor parenting skills. Additionally, these mothers also fail to synchronize their vocal frequencies with their baby's proximity or interaction, suggesting that they may be unable to respond emotionally to their baby's needs. Finally, the research suggests that a drug called MSX-3 could help alleviate some of these symptoms by blocking the brain's adenosine A2A receptors.
