A systematic review and meta-regression of the prevalence and incidence of perinatal depression

Effects of Gonadal Steroids in Women With a History of Postpartum Depression

TL;DR: The data provide direct evidence in support of the involvement of the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone in the development of postpartum depression in a subgroup of women and suggest that women with a history of post partum depression are differentially sensitive to mood-destabilizing effects of gonadal steroids.
