Dr Sarah Jarvis
The exact cause is not clear. It does not seem to be due to hormone changes after you give birth. Any mother could develop PND, but women are more prone to develop it just after childbirth. The main cause seems to be stressful events after childbirth, such as feelings of isolation, worry and responsibility about the new baby, etc.
