Post Partum Depression is one of the most common problems women experience after the birth of a baby. It is basically depression that occurs after the birth of a baby. Symptoms don’t always start right away. Women can experience this form of depression any time during the first year of the baby’s life.

There are many causes of depression in new mothers. A change in hormone levels is thought to be a major cause of depression. Shortly after the baby is born, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in your body plunge. This drop in hormone levels can trigger feelings of depression. In addition, some women experience low thyroid levels after pregnancy. This can cause feelings of depression.
