Risk factors for postpartum depression
As published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, risk factors for postpartum depression among abused women included age 15-19 (aOR=2.29) and > 35 years of age (aOR=2.33). In non-abused women, risk factors for postpartum depression include unemployment (aOR=1.41), foreign birth (aOR=2.04), and low income (aOR=1.68). Postpartum depression was also associated with women abused prior to pregnancy (aOR=3.28), abuse beginning postpartum (aOR=4.76), and abuse resuming postpartum (aOR=3.81).
Read the article summaryA link between cardiovascular fitness and depression

Read the article summaryOptimal dose of amisulpride for acute exacerbation of schizophrenia
As published in Clinical Drug Investigation, an initial amisulpride dose of 800 mg (n=38) is more effective that 400 mg with dose titration (n=30) in patients with an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia. A greater number of patients in the 800 mg group than the 400 mg with dose titration group had a 30% reduction in the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale after 4 (68.4% vs. 40.0%) and 6 weeks (71.1% vs. 43.3%).
