Causes of postpartum depression

The causes of occurrence are very diverse, genetic, social factors, various stresses and the emotional state of a woman are important. We would single out two main groups, these are: physiological and psychological causes. One of the physiological reasons is changes in female sex hormones, malnutrition and vitamin B deficiency, constant fatigue and insomnia. Psychological reasons – there is a change in the center of attention (all the attention of those around you is paid to the baby, and not to the woman), excessive demands are made, disappointment in childbirth or in oneself, in one’s appearance, disappointment in the baby (he is not like a smiling child from advertising), regret about the new situation (new responsibility, change in the rhythm of life).
