The authors report data from the emergency department AURORA study to characterize resilience in more detail than the absence of psychopathology after trauma.
In this cross-species translational study, the authors look at the longitudinal consequences of stress during adolescent development on HPA function and postpartum behaviors in mice and in humans and suggest that glucocorticoid receptor antagonists may serve as a potential treatment for postpartum depression.
