As a person w/ a hx of PPD treated in various ways both prenatal (prophylactic) and post-natal, I am now very intrigued w/ the use of natural progesterone injections for PPD symptoms, based in large part on the work of Dr. Katharina Dalton...who has reported great success in treating PPD and helping new mothers at high risk avoid PPD by using natural progesterone at the time of delivery.

http://www.naprotechnology.com/depression.htm is from the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska, USA which has a pp progesterone protocol in place.  (As a new-for-the-8th-time-mom, I have been working w. them w/ remarkable results and lifting of all my PPD symptoms!)
