Low-dose S-Ketamine and Postpartum Depression in Parturients With Prenatal Depression

Summary

Prenatal depression is an important risk factor of postpartum depression. Low-dose ketamine has been used for depression treatment. As a stereoisomer of ketamine, s-ketamine has similar effects to ketamine in anti-depression. We speculate that, for pregnant women with prenatal depression, low-dose s-ketamine infusion after childbirth may reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.
