Postpartum depression usually arises from a mix of factors rather than a single cause: the sudden drop in hormones like estrogen and progesterone after childbirth, a personal history of depression or other mental-health conditions, and major life stressors. Physical and emotional exhaustion from childbirth and caring for a newborn, chronic sleep deprivation, and limited support from a partner, family, or friends can all increase the risk. Overcomers Counseling provides compassionate, practical care to help new parents understand these contributors and find steady, evidence-based support as they recover.
