The Postpartum Depression EEG & Survey Study is designed to better understand the neurological and psychological changes associated with postpartum depression. By combining electroencephalography (EEG) with validated mental health questionnaires, researchers aim to identify patterns of brain activity and self-reported symptoms that may improve our understanding of postpartum mental health.

Participants will complete a series of confidential surveys assessing mood, emotional well-being, stress, sleep, and daily functioning, followed by a non-invasive EEG recording to measure brain activity. The study seeks to explore potential relationships between neural activity and the symptoms experienced during the postpartum period.

The knowledge gained from this research may contribute to earlier identification of postpartum depression, support the development of more objective assessment tools, and inform future treatments for mothers experiencing postpartum mental health challenges. By participating, individuals help advance research that has the potential to improve care and outcomes for women and families affected by postpartum depression.
