Answer:

Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.

The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone, etc.

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland under the command of pituitary gland. Cortisol helps in regulating blood sugar, blood pressure and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:

Obesity in upper body
High blood pressure
Mood swings, depression and irritability
Acne and other skin problems.

Symptoms of postpartum psychosis appear to be triggered by:

Andrews [41]

The correct answer is c. Postpartum psychosis is an extreme mental illness in which a new mother does not respond well emotionally to her new baby. This is not a voluntary disorder, which cancels out the first multiple choice option, and mothers who have diabetes actually seem to be protected from it, invalidating the second multiple choice option. The fourth multiple choice option seems to better describe postpartum depression, which is not the same as postpartum psychosis (the former is a depressive disorder, while the latter is a bipolar one).
