There is no single cause of Post Natal Depression. Contrary to what many people believe, PND is not "just hormonal", because fathers and adoptive mothers can suffer from it too. A combination of factors can contribute to the condition, such as:
being a perfectionist,
lack of support,
a traumatic birth,
financial and other stress,
loneliness,
an unsatisfactory relationship with the baby's father
a previous history of depression.
