There is at best not enough data to argue there is normally a dip in depression scores in this time, and at worst good reason to believe the very nice summer in 2013 is the reason for the dip in depression scores for women in 2013. The women in 2014 did not become more depressed after the MH7 disaster - that's all we know for sure.Daniel Lakenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143834258497875354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987850932434001559.post-7154948858202481312015-07-14T22:07:34.821+02:002015-07-14T22:07:34.821+02:00From the graph in the article (https://pbs.twimg.c...From the graph in the article (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJ4nV8hWgAAGmqP.png) it seems to be equally plausible that there was a drop in depression in the "control" (2013) group from 22 to 32 weeks. I suppose one would have to know the general etiology of depression across the span of pregnancy to say whether the 2013 or 2014 numbers were unusual.Nick Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266307287741345798noreply@blogger.com
