For most cases of mild to moderate postpartum depression, standard treatment with psychotherapy with or without an antidepressant works well. Treating severe PPD is more challenging. Fortunately, there is a new category of medication for PPD that is intended for severe PPD. The newest one is zuranolone (trade name is Zurzuvae).

I was hunched over the kitchen table, tracking ounces on a laminated chart with a dry-erase marker, crying so hard I couldn't see the numbers. It was 2:40 a.m. My nipples were bleeding. Lily was screaming. And the book said she should be sleeping. "Stretch feeds to four hours," it said. "Teach her to self-soothe." So I shushed. I swaddled. I walked in circles around our dark apartment, whispering affirmations I didn't believe.
