That word....: I expect you may not mean that you are in a state of distress over wanting a baby - but that is what it actually means specifically (like a hen). If this is the case, read here: http://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/advice-support-40/mental-health-support-642/565659-depression-broody-all.html In any case, actually, such behavior would be part of depression rather than causing it. Best!

Accentuate the good: Although some broodiness is no direct cause for depression, repeated attention and focus on the negative can put you in a perpetual cycle of anxiety or irritation. These bodily sensations, when consistently felt, can ultimately lead you down a path of habitual unchecked negative cognitions. These habits can land you in depression if left unchecked. Instead refocus on something neutral/ positive.
