Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Teenage pregnancy is already a high-risk factor for postpartum depression. The added stress of living in a small northern Indigenous community, possibly with limited access to healthcare and support, can increase the likelihood of depression following delivery. While the other options may also be potential complications, depression is the most probable in this scenario.
