I will say this about the post partum depression deal. Its one of the worst kinds of depression you can have I have been told by one of my better psychiatrists. I once was referred to a psychiatrist at an elite teaching hospital who one of her specialties was post partum depression and Im a guy. I didnt like this psychiatrist, probably the worst Pdoc I ever had, only went twice.
I was later told I probably got referred to her cause a doctor who specializes in post partum depression is used to working with SEVERE depression and with depression frequently accompanied by psychosis. Post partum depression frequently involves psychosis.
All I will say about this stuff is it is brain science stuff, plain and simple. Its nothing mysterious, psychological or anything else. Also, post partum depression has a lot to do with hormones and not just brain neurotransmitters. Its a physiologically different kind of depression than regular run of the mill clinical depression.
