Any woman who is pregnant, had a baby within the past several months, miscarried, or recently weaned a child from breastfeeding can suffer from postpartum depression. A woman can have this condition regardless of her age, socioeconomic status, or the number of children she has borne (12).

Postpartum depression is more likely to occur if a woman had any of the following:

* previous postpartum depression
* depression not related to pregnancy
* severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
* a non-supportive partner; and stress related to family, marriage, occupation, housing, and other events during pregnancy or after childbirth

You can just get post natal depression for no reason at all , if its your first baby and he or she cries a lot and just having had a baby does take the goodness from the body , i think a man should spend long time looking after a new born just for little experiment to see if HE gets depressed !
