MGH Center for Women's Mental Health

MGH Center for Women's Mental Health We invite you to visit our website at www.womensmentalhealth.org

The Ammon-Pinizzotto Center for Women’s Mental Health at MGH was established in 1989 and has been renamed following the generous gift from Carol Ammon and Dr. Marie Pinizzotto. Our website (www.womensmentalhealth.org) provides a range of current information including discussion of new research findings in women’s mental health and how such investigations inform day-to-day clinical practice. Despit

e the growing number of studies being conducted in women’s health, the clinical implications of such work are frequently controversial, leaving patients with questions regarding the most appropriate path to follow. Providing these resources to patients and their doctors so that individual clinical decisions can be made in a thoughtful and collaborative fashion dovetails with the mission of our Center.

🎊 Season 2 Finale 🎊

We can't believe Season 2 of So Glad You Asked is already coming to a close. From partner mental health and infertility to postpartum psychosis and miscarriage, we've had so many meaningful conversations with incredible guests this season. We're grateful to everyone who joined us along the way.

For our finale, we're diving into one of the most important topics in maternal mental health: treating postpartum depression.

Dr. Ruta and Allie are joined by two other reproductive psychiatrists, Dr. Lee Cohen and Dr. Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD, for a thoughtful conversation about recognizing postpartum depression, understanding screening tools, and exploring the many treatment options available. Together, they discuss how patients and providers can work together to find the approach that's right for each individual.

Listen to the full episode at the links below. And if you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left a review!

In June 2026, Dr. Ruta Nonacs discussed Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER), a poorly understood breastfeeding condition characterized by brief but intense waves of negative emotions that occur before and during milk letdown. D-MER is rarely taught, often misread as “ambivalence” or postpartum depression, and can end breastfeeding early if left unrecognized. Read the full blog on our website!
