The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved brexanolone, the first drug specifically targeted to treat postpartum depression — the most common complication of childbirth. Yet it’s a condition that often goes untreated because new mothers fear being stigmatized if they report symptoms.

Brexanolone is the first drug developed by and approved from Sage Therapeutics. The Cambridge, Mass.-based biotech company will market the new medicine under the brand name Zulresso.

“This approval is important for postpartum depression patients and it’s important for our company. It’s rare in your career when you can introduce a new medicine that is different from what’s out there,” said Sage CEO Jeff Jonas.
