I know someone who experienced postnatal depression with their first child and is worried about the potential impact on their mental health if they decide to have another baby. Can you shed light on the long-term effects of postnatal depression on subsequent pregnancy?

People who had PND before are more likely to have it again, if their depression is contributed by genetic and biological factors, sensitivity to hormonal changes etc. Whether she will actually develop PND the second time depends on the amount of stress, amount of support, how she is coping at that time. If the first PND was treated and she recovered well, she is likely to have learned what to look out for, how to reach out for support, how to balance her own needs etc, so that's more important than whether she had PND before.
