Abstract Evolutionary approaches to parental care suggest that parents will not automatically invest in all offspring, and should reduce or eliminate investment in their children if the costs outweigh the benefits. Lack of paternal or social support will increase the costs born by mothers, whereas infant health problems will reduce the evolutionary benefits to be gained. Numerous studies support the correlation between postpartum depression (PPD) and lack of social support or indicators of possible infant health and development problems. PPD may be an adaptation that informs mothers that they are suffering or have suffered a fitness cost, that motivates them to reduce or eliminate investment in offspring under certain circumstances, and that may help them negotiate greater levels of investment from others. PPD also appears to be a good model for depression in general. Keywords: postpartum depression, parental investment, life history theory, reproduction, mental health, evolutionary psychology

But the number of support groups and developing treatments for the disorder attest to its validity and seriousness, doctors and therapists said. It was about half a century ago that physicians began recognizing patterns in the depression that some women experienced after childbirth, said Paul Appelbaum, president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association. The seemingly unexplained crying, mood swings and irritability, or "baby blues" that about 70 percent of women experience after childbirth is not clinical depression and generally stops after two weeks, he said. But about 10 to 20 percent of new mothers are diagnosed with postpartum depression, said Appelbaum, who specializes in the disorder. And 1 or 2 out of 1,000 will experience psychosis with that depression, he explained. A part of that psychosis might include auditory hallucinations. SYMPTOMS These may be some of the symptoms of postpartum depression: Inability to sleep or sleeping a lot Change in appetite Extreme concern and worry about the baby or a lack of interest or feelings for the baby Feeling unable to love the baby or your family

The associated feelings, such as sadness, anxiety and restlessness, can be so strong that they interfere with daily tasks. Postpartum depression can occur at any time within about the first six months after giving birth. If left untreated, it can last up to a year or longer. In rare cases, an even more severe form of depression, postpartum psychosis, can develop. Some of the symptoms of this mental illness are similar to those of postpartum depression, but they're more extreme.

Urological Conditions Postpartum Depression From Our Sponsors WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW Many women feel sad, afraid, and unable to cope in the first few days after having a baby. This feeling is called postpartum (post-PAR-tum) blues, or baby blues. It usually goes away within two weeks. When it doesn't go away or gets worse, you may find yourself unable to care for the baby or yourself. This is called postpartum depression. Treatment can relieve even the worst of such depressions. Without treatment, however, the condition could get worse and lead to dangerous thoughts about hurting yourself or your baby. Causes Fast changes in the body's hormone levels are partially to blame. Stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and lack of help from family and friends also can bring on depression. Women who have emotional problems before the baby is born are more likely to develop the problem. Signs/Symptoms You may feel sad, nervous, irritated, or moody. Sometimes women feel angry at their baby, their partner, or their other children. Trouble sleeping, eating, or making decisions is common. In very bad cases, self-destructive thoughts may emerge.

The idea of a mother drowning all of her children puzzled the nation.

"The evidence suggests postpartum depression may be preventable, says Dennis. In analyzing the prevention strategies used, Dennis found an overall 19 per cent reduction in postpartum depression. Individual assessment and intensive support provided by a health professional to at-risk women after they give birth was the most successful approach to preventing postpartum depression; group-based strategies weren't as effective. Risk factors for postpartum depression include past psychiatric history, a significant number of life stressors and lack of support."
