> Ante partum is during pregnancy and post partum is after birth. Plenty of women are depressed during pregnancy, but hormonal changes, as well as sleep deprivation and anxiety about life changes and being a good parent can trigger or worsen depression after childbirth. Cecilia
OK, that makes sense. Well, like I said before this post partum depression is a very different kind of depression physiologically. It involves hormones as well as the brain.
