Either one. Gynecologists are familiar with postpartum depression, plus they often act as primary care physicians for women.
If neither of those can help, talk to a psychologist/counselor or psychiatrist. (A psychiatrist is an MD who can prescribe meds; a psychologist or other counselor can provide talk therapy. At least in the US.)

I'd definately say your primary care giver. it's not really a gynecologist's place to diagnose your depression or recommend you anything. Your primary care giver would most likely be able to do more for you. But then again, I think it'd be best to speak with whomever you're more comfortable with.

Im guessing the one you personally trust and or like more, or both. Whichever one you feel more comfortable with is probably more suitable. I don't know what a gynocologist is, in case you've already guessed that, but I say stick with the nice people, they'll try harder to help.

If you are more comfortable with addressing the issue with your gynecologist then I would recommend them, and if you really feel comfortable with them ask for a recommendation about who they think could be helpful to you when it comes to a psychiatrist if you need further treatment.

i'd go with the gyno....IF your gyno is a female....
depression is usually a symptom of something wrong in the body, ie, chronic illness, infection.....depression normally doesn't happen on it's own.
