In a serious post-natal depression can hormones help in the cure?

Question:

After giving birth the first time this person landed in a serious lengthy depression; it never really disappeared and after giving birth the second time there was a period of about 2 months after the birth in which she felt very happy and stable but in the third month the depression came back: there is no feeling of love or responsibility towards the children, there is a lot of guilt towards her family, there is intense fatigue, there is the feeling of "why go on?" Normal help, anti-depressiva and therapy have not given any results, although the person is in daily therapy. There is a feeling that iher depression might be hormone-related. Does anyone have any info on this and is there anyone out there who has had the same and has been helped successfully and with which medicines or therapies? (Europe°

all post-natal (postpartum) depression is hormone related if your friend is not seeming to get better she needs to seek help from another (different) doctor. SHE SHOULD BE SEEING BOTH A THERAPIST AND A PSYCHIATRIST, and she should also join a support group for other moms going thru the same thing

I've always found it very helpful to understand as much as possible about any health (or other) problem that needs to be dealt with . The articles below address & explain PPD, as well as discuss some of the things that can effect one's ability to get over it, including how others can help:

If you try the homeopathic route suggested by "Soul_Doctor" I'd enjoy learning the results. I see a Naturopath (ND), & have used 'it' on other problems.
However, there are several other things one can do to optimize even the effects of homeopathy .

I hope your 'PPD-affected-person' gets well soon! Sincerely,
