How high is my risk of postnatal depression if I was formally diagnosed with major depressive disorder?

It's hard to say just based on this, cos it also depends on your postnatal situation, how stressful it is and how you are coping. HIgher than someone who did not have depression before, everything else equal. More useful to think about what you have learned from your previous depressive episode, like what triggers your mood changes, what are your signs of depression, what helped you to recover.
