Mom Genes Fight PPD is a research study developed by Postpartum Depression: Action Towards Causes and Treatment (PACT) Consortium, an international group of academic clinicians and scientists committed to understanding the interaction of genes and environment to predict which women are at risk of postpartum depression (PPD). We sat down with Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody (University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill) and Kinley Legrange  to talk about how this study came to life. We encourage all moms who feel they have suffered any maternal mood disorder, even 20 years ago, to download the Mom Genes app and take the quick survey, and send in your saliva sample for their study to find a genetic tie to PPD. It is a simple process with no cost to you. Their goal is 100,000 samples for the study to have successful results. Join the Mom Genes study today! You can find them on social media @momgenesfightppd.
