What Causes Postpartum Depression?

Good Evening, Doctor, my name is Sheila. I am a undergraduate at National Louis University in Chicago Illinois. I need information and statistics on teen post-partum depression; and what is is exactly? My daughter suffered from depression at the age of 15. Is there a chemical imbalance. and what could be a possible solution, for this type of depression. Are there programs to encourage those who suffer from this depression. What is the difference between a teen and an adult? Also, Dr. what is the trend? How do you handle depression of this magnitude? Is there funding to represent this illness? Also what are the most current statistics as of 2016? One more adage, are the numbers of this depression going up or down, in 2016. Thank you so very much Dr. I look forward in hearing from you tonight, if at all possible. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you again Sheila
