Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during a C-section can lower the chances of postpartum depression and anxiety. Researchers will compare 98 pregnant women who use VR during surgery to those who don't, measuring mood and brain chemicals linked to depression. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can improve mental health after childbirth.
