Compassion work is promising but not a one-line cure

Population and setting: 48 women with PPD; eight-week group compassion-focused therapy versus wait-list.
What was found: Self-esteem, rumination and loneliness outcomes favored the intervention.
Limits and applicability: Small trial with passive comparison and selected endpoints. It does not prove remission or validate mantras alone.
How directly does this apply?: direct-perinatal; small trial
Gap between the study and our product: Use believable, kind language and avoid unconditional positive claims the parent cannot believe.
