Hormones

So the root cause of postpartum depression and anxiety is hormonal imbalance am I right? Once your baby is born your body experiences the largest hormone drop/shift you will ever have. Why don’t doctors give hormones after birth to help with this? Seems like most doctors just push antidepressants so easily and I feel like those can cause other problems. I am 1 year pp and just had my hormones checked and estrogen and testosterone are still completely depleted. Been feeling completely awful for this entire year. So discouraging. 😕
