Which hormones need to be rebalanced after pregnancy to avoid depression?

Rellax and enjoy: Your natural hormones will return to normal after several weeks to months with no further intervention on your part. If birthcontrol pills are started for contraception, these will also restore normal levels. Post-partum depression is somewhat common, eaily treated, and rarely needs hormonal supplementation. This too shall pass.

Natural ones: Your body is geared to make appropriate adjustments of all components of what is known as the endocrine system (glands). Pregnancy related hormones are also important during breast feeding. All hormones will gradually normalize post-partum. One should never take extra hormones, or even certain supplements without having the levels tested in the blood.
