Summary
This study tests whether a 3-week bedside yoga program, added to standard depression treatment, can improve mother-infant bonding and reduce depression in new mothers. Fifty-two mothers with perinatal depression will be randomly assigned to yoga plus usual care or usual care alone. Researchers will measure bonding, depression scores, and levels of oxytocin and cortisol in the blood.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, drug-free way to help new mothers with depression bond better with their babies.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply widely. The yoga is added to usual medication, so benefits may be modest.
