The dynamic neuroplastic changes in the maternal brain during pregnancy and the postpartum period appear to be closely linked to peripartum hormone fluctuations, which jointly influence the development of postpartum mood disorders. Hormonal risk factors such as baby blues and premenstrual syndrome have been found to have a bearing on PPD. The combination of these two factors predicts the risk of PPD with 83% sensitivity within the first week postpartum. Follow-up digital monitoring of symptom development in the first 6 weeks postpartum has enabled an accurate identification of women with PPD.

A total of 274 of the 305 originally included persons could be investigated in the study. Patients participated in either cognitive behavioral group therapy (SEKT) or supportive, patient-centered group therapy (FEST). Treatment took place over 4 days separated by a 1-month interval (equivalent to 16 double hours).

The symptoms were retrospectively assessed for the previous 6 months, with respect to each week before and after the intervention phase and for 6‑month and 12-month follow-ups. The results show that the effects of both group therapies were comparable; however, there were statistically significant differences in a multivariate proportional hazards model for the factors bipolar 1 and 2 as well as the interaction of therapy with bipolar 1 and 2. In particular, bipolar 2 patients benefited significantly less from the SEKT intervention than from the FEST intervention. There were three clusters identified that separated bipolar 1 (SEKT, no comorbidity, predominantly no recurrences, younger patients), from bipolar 2 (FEST, no comorbidity, at least 1 often 2 recurrences, older patients) and from a heterogeneous group (SEKT and FEST, comorbidity). The distinction between bipolar 1 and bipolar 2 disorder is important and has so far not received sufficient attention.
