I honestly think that all three are caused by intolerable chronic stress and how it becomes maladaptive in the modern environment. Think about one common presentation - postnatal anxiety, where a woman will be hit with constant terror of harm coming to the baby. You get women who say things like ‘I have to make sure I put all the knives away from sight Becasue I can literally see them being left out by people and harming the baby.’ Or ‘ I fear them stopping breathing and I haven’t slept in weeks becasue I’m just listening and checking all the time.’ These women are being driven to a state of extreme stress by this. Yet think about it - a mother who is constantly on the alert would historically have had a lower chance of an accident happening. ‘Yeah just gonna chill and leave the baby in this cave floor whoops lions got it’ doesn’t pass your genes down.
 The problem is that in the modern world sources of stress are CHRONIC. Acute stress can be beneficial - a man in battle is extremely stressed but that adrenaline gives him an edge. A hungry hunter who encounters a large, tasty bit dangerous animal may be stressed, kill and then the stress is gone. In our modern world, stressors are constant, non acute and unavoidable and it is literally driving us insane. It is how we live, and don’t live, that makes us feel shit. 
 Almost all of it is SLS - Shit Life Syndrome

meditation is an example of how we can remain aware of the baby, without reacting negatively to the thought that babies die
