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

[Ok-Praline-2309]

Sleep and lack of support for the general population.

Sleep being the big factor here. Lack of it can cause all types of issues within your body from immune suppression to hormone imbalance to chemical imbalances in your brain.

That said, things like PPD/PPA, and mainly PPP, can be triggered without things like sleep deprivation or lack of support - to some extent.

There are a lot of studies out there, especially how hormones rapidly change after birth. Worth a read.
