I'm a physiologist, so I study the physical body. I'm not a psychologist.
Some of my research has looked at the relationship between postpartum depression and injury risk. There is a relationship between postpartum depression and increased susceptibility to overuse injury. We see miscarriage as well and an increased susceptibility to MSKI.
I do think it's a great idea, actually, to have mental health support and physical health support simultaneously through pregnancy and the postpartum period, so that we can actually identify MST, which is also important there, and postpartum depression. If we don't have practitioners who are specialized in women's health, they're not going to ask or they think it's normal. Postpartum depression, while common, is not normal. There's a lot of support and a lot of evidence-based practice that can support women through that.
Again, if you don't ask....
