A member asked:

Can depression cause a miscarriage?

Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not directly: Depression alone would not directly cause a miscarriage. But there may be some overlapping pathophysiology such as platelet clumping that could interfere. Your ob-gyn may be able to tell you more about your own situation, if you discuss it with him or her.
