Being in geriatrics, I haven't dealt much with post-partum depression (go figure!). Has anyone on GC had a problem with it, that they'd be willing to share? Are there any statistics on how often it happens, does it tend to increase per pregnancy, etc?
The article I read said that this woman - and the other three "big" cases of it - had each had at least three children. Does the tendency towards PP get worse if the mother had a history of "normal" depression prior to becoming pregnant?
Yeah, I could look this up myself - but I'd tend to believe someone who's been there more than a bunch of stats.
