Depression after birth in women born in summer or autumn

One of ten young mothers suffers from postpartum depression, and new research by experts claims that women born in summer or autumn are more likely to suffer from this type of depression, compared to women who are born in winter or autumn.

The study has examined the medical records of 20,169 women who were born between June 2015 and August 2017.

Jie Jou, who had led this study, has said that a link has been found between women diagnosed with postpartum depression and the year in which the baby was born.

Jie Zhou suggests that mothers who give birth in winter or spring are more likely to avoid postpartum depression because they are more likely to have activities within the home with their babies.
