Is Seasonal Variation Another Risk Factor for Postpartum Depression?
Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, 09/14/09

Panthangi V et al. – The slight seasonal variation in postpartum depression (PPD) in this pilot study was not statistically significant. This study was underpowered to detect the projected differences in seasons. Additional patients are needed to diversify the participants and provide an adequate sample to test the projected seasonal differences. The high ORs found for greater parity, weak social support, history of depression, and currently taking antidepressants suggest that new mothers with these characteristics should be questioned about symptoms of PPD.
