Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of acute NeuroStar TMS therapy in women who have postpartum depression.

Primary Outcome

The EPDS is a ten-item questionnaire used for screening for postpartum depression. Total scores range from 0 to 30. Mothers who score above 10 are likely to suffer a depressive illness, while scores above 13 are likely to represent major depression. Higher score at EOA means worse outcome. Once patient reached remission (EPDS\<9), this was EOA treatment and scores were collected.
