First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at mood episodes in women who are pregnant or have given birth within the past year. Researchers want to better understand symptoms like irritability, racing thoughts, and reduced need for sleep, which are often missed. By using questionnaires, they hope to improve diagnosis and care for conditions like bipolar disorder during this vulnerable time.
