Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine Student Shines in her recent Publication

Congratulations to Marian University's College of Osteopathic Medicine Margaret Drakestudent Margaret Drake '25 on her recent publication. The third-year medical student wrote about complications associated with postpartum mood and anxiety disorder symptoms earlier this fall.

The publication entitled, "Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and intrusive thoughts in the post postpartum period: Associations with trauma exposure and post traumatic stress symptoms," (PTSD) is published in the journal Stress Health

The study identified PTSD symptoms as a new correlate for preoccupation with postpartum-specific intrusive thoughts and neutralizing strategies in the postpartum period in community samples. Congratulations, Margaret, on your published work.
