Anemia treatment is a clinical issue, not a universal iron mood stack

Population and setting: 300 women with postpartum anemia in a single-center open-label randomized trial.
What was found: At six weeks, EPDS outcomes did not differ significantly between three active iron-treatment groups.
Limits and applicability: No untreated randomized comparator; this does not show whether iron prevents PPD or justify supplementation without an indication.
