Thanks for chiming in! Yes, I first got depression when I was pregnant for the first time, and then again really bad post partum after baby number two. I have noticed that SSRI's reduce my mental PMS symptoms. However, my last depressive episode was two years ago (I think medications helps keep them fewer and farther between) and my very last one is just now ending. So hormones may play a part, but my episodes aren't every month. Thank goodness!
