Etiology of Post-Partum Depression
Potential underlying etiologies include hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, and stressors. The exact cause of PPD is unknown, however. Depressive episodes in susceptible people may be triggered by the rapid drop in estrogen and progesterone levels combined with stress/sleep deprivation that accompanies taking care of a newborn. Other factors include changes in the metabolic pathway.
