Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether giving synthetic oxytocin during the peripartum period affects the likelihood of women developing depression and anxiety within the first year after childbirth, with the initial hypothesis that it might reduce these risks.
  • Using data from the Massachusetts Integrated Clinical Academic Research Database, researchers found that women exposed to synthetic oxytocin actually had a higher risk of postpartum depression or anxiety disorders, especially among women with a history of mental health issues prior to pregnancy.
  • Contrary to the original hypothesis, the results suggest that synthetic oxytocin administration around childbirth may be linked to an increased chance of postpartum depression and anxiety diagnoses or medication prescriptions, rather than a protective effect.
