Comment:	Hi, Just to add that postnatal depression isn't simply about addressing the hormones after birth, it is rather like any other depression a complex and wide spectrum of an illness. For many women, it is actually incredibly biological and chemical and for they will respond well to antidepressant medication in the same way as any other depression, for many mothers, particularly those who may have other social pressures in their lives, then it can have social causes and often talking therapies will help most and for some it can actually be a combination of multiple factors. However, the Hormone theory isn;t actually considered to the main cause anymore as several research studies have discredited this. It's interesting to note also that recent research also shows that 1 in 20 new fathers experience postnatal depression, often independently of their partners due to new stresses and life changes involved in becoming a father. Hope this is helpful, with kind regards Ruth www.bluebellcare.org
