I am not an expert but I don't think postpartum depression happens because people consider all rational possibilities and conclude that depression is the most logical option. It happens to them because of physical changes during and after pregnancy. It's not like they can just will away those physical changes, or rationalize their way out.

Kind of like how with other types of depression the sufferer can intellectually understand why there is no reason to feel the way they do - but they still do.
