Well duh

I am plugging through a 200-page document from a local government in order to help my client submit public comment, and here's a little snippet for you:

"...one study reports that more than half of [low-income] mothers who have recently given birth report low to moderate postpartum depression, and women were much more likely to report severe postpartum depression if they were homeless, she or her husband/partner went to jail, someone close to her had a problem with drinking or drugs, she moved, she or her husband/partner lost their job, she had a lot of bills she couldn’t pay or she was physically abused during pregnancy."
So, you're more likely to be depressed if you're homeless, in jail, unable to pay your bills, or getting the crap beat out of you? Ya THINK?
