A member asked:

What can cause postnatal depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Risk and hormones: Postpartum depression is likely triggered by hormonal changes, and some people are at higher risk. It can be quite dangerous and serious if not treated but there is help. Here is an article one of our associates wrote on the "baby blues" http://www.Cpancf.Com/articles_files/postpartumdepression.Asp hope it helps.
