"Dr. Sears also refers to progesterone as your “feel-good hormone.” It’s what’s responsible for giving pregnant women that “glow” and feeling upbeat and happy. But if your progesterone levels drop, you can start feeling rundown, depressed and anxious. In fact, after a woman gives birth, her progesterone levels drop dramatically and can result in post-partum depression. And in most cases, a little boost of progesterone is all it takes to help you feel happier and calmer."
If the above is true, why is it so? What is the reason that a women's progesterone levels would drop enough after birth that is causes problems for her? Does this only happen in unhealthy women...meaning healthy women would have the proper amount of progesterone even after giving birth?
