Summary

This study investigates whether taking vitamin B6 supplements during late pregnancy and after childbirth can help prevent depression. Pregnant women without a history of mental health conditions take either vitamin B6 or a placebo from around 24-28 weeks of pregnancy until six weeks after giving birth. The trial also explores whether a wearable heart monitor can provide a more objective way to screen for depression than standard questionnaires.
