description There is compelling evidence to suggest that acute adverse life events and certain stressors specific to motherhood increase the risk of maternity blues and diagnoses of postpartum depression. Other psychosocial factors that are likely to explain vulnerability to postpartum depression include previous history of depression and the stress‐moderating effects of social support and coping responses. This article reviews the emerging empirical literature on stress and postpartum depression and presents a discussion of methodological issues relevant to advancing this area of research. Multivariate models that examine the interplay of these variables are now required to further our understanding of these syndromes.
