Cortisol awakening response in pregnant women with depressive disorders: a potential marker of recovery status from pregnancy to postpartum by Carlinde W. Broeks, Babette Bais, Rien Van, Hilmar H. Bijma, Elisabeth F.C. van Rossum, Witte J.G. Hoogendijk, Mijke P. Lambregtse-Van den Berg, Astrid M. Kamperman

“…Conclusion: Higher AUCi and peak cortisol reactivity of the cortisol awakening response during pregnancy were linked to persistence of depressive symptoms postpartum, suggesting that heightened cortisol reactivity to awakening may indicate persistent stress vulnerability in peripartum depression. Total cortisol output (AUCg) was not predictive of recovery. …”
