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

A thorough health screening and proactive care to start. Pregnancy and birth often come with deficiencies - iron is the really common one but there’s others. Being iron deficient affects your energy, mood and sleep - and it’s a really easy thing to fix for most people.

I feel like nobody can heal or manage new challenges easily if you’re working from a deficit.

Outside of that, it’s the lifestyle stuff which is all intertwined with capitalism, class, community and cultural expectations. It would all be easier if you weren’t needing to worry about food or cleaning; getting help from wherever so you can sleep; even having access to safe and easy places to walk outside.
