Society and Culture

PPD affects women of varying cultures, as the triggers for depression vary on the social aggressors that cause its onset for new mothers. The same events that may be fear-inducing in one culture, anger-inducing in a second, may be benign in a third. Varying ways of life including access to health, social norms, and traditions and commination all dictate the level of effect PDD has on women. The intersectionality of ethnicity, social class, and role limit the availability of care for minorities who do not have readily available resources to combat the onset of PDD. For example, western society places great emphasis on having material goods for individuals and families, including newborns. Women, at or below the poverty level, who do not have the money or the time to support their basic needs experience additional stressors with an infant’s birth. Consistent with western material values, many new mothers expend large amounts of energy preparing the environment for the new baby, instead of preparing status passage events for themselves. These behaviors emphasize the baby's coming, yet neglect to place any emphasis on the mother's work or need for support during this time.

The needs for the baby overshadow the well being of the mother and the means of resources she is able to provide which in turn heighten her risk for PPD...
