Gerri, Deena Zimmerman, a pediatrician who lives in Jerusalem (I think) and is sometimes on Lactnet, published an article a couple of years ago about PPD and breastfeeding. My recollection vaguely is that it was more about how to treat than about causes, but it may be of help to you all the same. If you know Deena, or can get her number from 114, give her a call (and tell her I say hi and shanah tovah). Otherwise email me privately and I will try to find my copy -- not sure if I can find it but I will hunt around.
