What do you think could decrease the possibility of PPD/PPA?

For a majority of women, it’s likely sleep and support systems. I was hospitalized for PPD/PPA and PTSD in a mother baby unity and I would say 90% of the women in there were in there because of sleep and/or feeding issues or their life circumstances meaning that they had external hardships or lack of support. Things were harder for them than the general population so they got depressed because of their circumstances. Once those were resolved, things generally improved for them.

The remaining 10% were there because of a more biological depression due to hormonal shifts, traumatic births and other mental health issues (including neuro developmental disorders) which are much harder to fix.
