Lost1970- That depends on why you’re depressed. Postpartum depression, for example, is chemically/hormone based and therefore is treated with medication. Someone who is depressed because of life experiences may or may not medication. It all depends on the person.
I don’t believe in that either. Studies show that post-partum women are depressed at the same rate as other women of child bearing age. But if post-partum causes depression, the rate should be higher. Rather, it shows that women who are prone to depression davka get it when they are having those life factors (like the huge emotional upheaval of giving birth)
