Postpartum depression affects about 1 in 8 pregnancies.
Notes on verification
CDC data directly supports the ~1 in 8 figure for postpartum depression among women with a recent live birth; minor wording discrepancy between 'pregnancies' and 'live births' does not undermine the core statistic, which is corroborated by multiple independent sources.
