I do think that it was a combination of her being terrified of Salem, her distrust of Ozpin and thinking that he just use people and her fear of being a mother which motivate her to leave her family and teamates. The tribe was the perfect excuse for her to justify her actions to Qrow and to herself because she was too prideful to admit to others and to herself that she was doing it out of cowardice and selfishness. Well RT has shown us a  lot of differant psychologial issues in the past (Adam Torres [Psyco Stalker Ex-Boyfriend], and Tyrian Callows [Psycopathic Tendancies]) so I don't think they would shy away from a woman's Psychological syndrome like PPD. I also did state that Raven suffering from PPD is just a theory. I am basing this theory on my experance when my first wife was diagonsed with PPD after the birth of our second child. If the head nurse at Norfolk Naval Base haden't reconized the symtoms my first wife would had bolted and left the kids with me. And they just found one of my cousins after she pulled a four year runner after she had her third child and stopped taking her PPD meds. So I am coming from a place of having a little bit of experance with what PPD can do to a mothers mental state.
