In fact according to PSI the rates are the same during and post pregnancy. Depression isn't the only mood disorder that can affect pregnant and new mothers. Perinatal Mood disorders also include anxiety, ocd and bi-polar disorder. Don't let depression tell you, you're less than or to blame. Depression visits many of us and changes the way we see ourselves and life. You're NOT alone.
