Hormone imbalance and anti-thyroid antibodies may cause postpartum depression.
2003 SEP 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A better understanding of postpartum depression involving hormones and antithyroid antibodies may lead to new therapy directly modifying these changes.
"This review examines proposed endocrine-based etiologies of postpartum depression (PPD) and how knowledge of these etiologies may affect future treatments. It is based on a review of papers shedding light on the etiology of PPD with special emphasis on research into endocrine-related depression," scientists writing in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine report.
"A picture of PPD is starting to emerge that suggests a variety of endocrine root causes as well as psychosocial risk factors. Hormones reviewed include progesterone, estradiol and estriol, cortisol, corticotropin-releasing hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone and triiodothyronine/thyroxine. Other substances examined include 3 antithyroid autoantibodies," wrote S.J.B. McCoy and coauthors.
