Oxytocin Treatment for Postpartum Depression Oxytocin (OT) has potential to be a treatment for Postpartum Depression (PPD). Oxytocin is released when a mother cares for her child, making the interaction pleasurable. Mothers that report high levels of infant-mother bonding and demonstrate responsive and sensitive parenting generally show increased levels of OT and brain reward center activation during play sessions. According to Slattery and Neumann, the oxytocin system of mothers experiencing PPD may have altered activity. These mothers have trouble bonding with their infants when they are born. An experiment found that mothers, who have low attachment ratings to adults and their infants, also have lower levels of OT when caring for their children. It is thought that women experiencing PPD

  • Oxytocin Treatment for Postpartum Depression Oxytocin (OT) has potential to be a treatment for Postpartum Depression (PPD). Oxytocin is released when a mother cares for her child, making the interaction pleasurable. Mothers that report high levels of infant-mother bonding and demonstrate responsive and sensitive parenting generally show increased levels of OT and brain reward center activation during play sessions. According to Slattery and Neumann, the oxytocin system of mothers experiencing PPD may have altered activity. These mothers have trouble bonding with their infants when they are born. An experiment found that mothers, who have low attachment ratings to adults and their infants, also have lower levels of OT when caring for their children. It is thought that women experiencing PPD may benefit from intranasal OT because this treatment would help the mother feel happier and assist her in bonding with the child . Another experiment shows that administering OT to a mother sheep increases the amount of care that she gives to offspring . Further experimentation needs to be done in order to determine the effectiveness of OT as a treatment for Postpartum Depression. (en)
