Description
Yuqin Zhu and co-authors compare in 2025 drug-free ways to treat depression and anxiety after childbirth. Such illness is common and harms both mother and baby, yet it was not clear which drug-free option works best. The options in the review were needle therapy, exercise, talk therapy, the two paired, and music therapy.
The team pooled thirty-five trials with 4,047 women. All five options beat standard care or no care for low mood. Paired exercise and talk therapy ranked first, then needle therapy and exercise alone. For anxiety, drug-free care also beat control care. The ranking gives clinics a firmer base for choosing care that new mothers can reach.
