Summary
This study tested a non-drug treatment called Personalized Integrated Chronotherapy (PIC) for pregnant women with depression. PIC combines bright light therapy, sleep schedule changes, and sleep stabilization. 120 pregnant women with major depression were randomly assigned to receive either usual care (medication or talk therapy) or PIC plus usual care. The goal was to see if adding PIC improves mood and sleep, and to check its safety.
