What causes PPD?
PPD can be caused by a mix of physical, emotional, and social factors, including hormonal changes, lack of support, sleep deprivation, and personal or family history of mental health conditions.
Can men experience PPD?
Yes, fathers and non-birthing partners can also experience post-partum depression, often as a result of the stress and emotional changes that come with becoming a parent.

Are certain women more at risk for PPD?
Yes, women with a history of depression, anxiety, or traumatic births, as well as those facing financial or social stress, may be at higher risk. However, PPD can affect anyone.
What percentage of women with PPD seek help?
Studies suggest that only about half of the women experiencing PPD seek professional help due to stigma or lack of resources.
