There is a devastating gap in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of perinatal mental health conditions.
Postpartum depression is a serious mood disorder marked by overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, and disconnection. It can severely impair a mother’s ability to care for herself and her baby—causing lasting harm to both. Timely detection and intervention are critical, yet the system fails to deliver.
This isn’t just a care gap. It’s a catastrophic failure in diagnosis that puts mothers and families at risk.
- Suicide and overdose account for nearly 90% of pregnancy-related deaths
- Two-thirds of women with perinatal mental health conditions go undiagnosed or untreated
- Traditional screening tools miss 50% of women at risk, leading to misdiagnosis or no diagnosis at all
- Half of women showing symptoms receive no diagnosis whatsoever
- 1 in 12 mothers now report poor or fair mental health
Dionysus Health exists to solve this failure, replacing guesswork with science and silence with action.
Dionysus Health Debuts Predictive Test for Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression is the number one complication of childbirth, affecting up to 1 in 4 women, yet no standard test exists to predict it. After a decade of innovation, Dionysus Health is emerging from stealth to help solve this crisis.
Our first breakthrough: The first commercially available biological test to predict a woman’s risk of developing postpartum depression uses a simple third-trimester blood draw, enabling early detection and proactive care before symptoms begin. No waiting until it’s too late. Finally, a clinically validated diagnostic that’s redefining maternal care with proactive diagnosis and treatment.
Accelerating with breakthrough science, national recognition, and strong investor interest.
