How can someone describe postpartum depression (PPD)?

Postpartum depression can affect any woman during pregnancy or after giving birth, regardless of reproductive disorders or whether the pregnancy was full-term. Having had PPD before can increase the chance of experiencing it again, but it does not mean it will happen in every later pregnancy. Therefore, “Any pregnant or recently pregnant woman is at risk for PPD” is correct.
