Post-partum Depression: An analysis
Professor Paul Glue and Associate Professor Yoram Barak of the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Otago explain the differences between ‘baby blues’ and the far more serious postpartum depression, examine why standard treatments for depression don’t work for post-partum depression, and reveal some of their research/innovative ideas looking at a potentially life-changing solution to the condition.
There will be a Q&A session after each presentation.
Professor Paul Glue's research focuses on clinical and basic science to investigate the pharmacology of drug treatments in psychiatry and the disease mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. He is also interested in psychopharmacology and the development of novel therapeutics for affective disorders.
Associate Professor Yoram Barak’s research interests include a wide range of psychiatric conditions (such as depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive–compulsive disorder), old-age psychiatry, and suicide.
