Blue light therapy for depression after childbirth

This trial is testing Blue Light Therapy (BlueLT)—a special light device that emits blue wavelengths—to see if it can help reduce depression and anxiety in women shortly after childbirth. Your body's internal clock and sleep patterns play a big role in mood, especially during this vulnerable time after delivery. The study wants to learn whether this light therapy can reset your body's rhythms and improve how you feel.

Sleep problems and disrupted daily rhythms are strongly linked to postpartum depression, sometimes making the risk four times higher. Current treatments don't always work for everyone, so researchers are exploring whether this light-based treatment could offer a new, drug-free option to prevent and treat depression during this critical period.
