There has been frequent talk of despair after childbirth. As for semimines, it is said that they usually come after childbirth and everything indicates that the cause of depression is in the placenta.

To a large extent, the finding at the U.S. Health Institute confirms what was previously thought. In fact, researchers have so far defended that the origin of depression is a hormonal balance that breaks after childbirth and the discovery of the US, in addition to approving this theory, has managed to determine the entire mechanism of depression.

In a stressful situation, the hypothalamus secretes a CRH hormone that releases many different substances. These include the substance cortisol, which helps balance blood glucose levels and maintain blood pressure.

However, in the last three months of pregnancy lime takes over the production of the hormone, decreasing the activity of the hypothalamus. In the case of the semirecent, lime is eliminated and thus the main source of the hormone CRH; the production of the hormone is totally unbalanced and there is a lack of crh until reaching the level of production corresponding to the hypothalamus. And of course, from there comes discouragement.
