Symptoms of postpartum mania

Many people develop mania after giving birth. Mania is a very serious condition that may cause us to suffer from bad moods, often leading to insomnia, nightmares, and inexplicable temper tantrums. Relieving it as soon as possible can help us avoid more serious problems. Let's briefly describe the symptoms of postpartum mania.

Manic patients seem to be more energetic, more flexible and smarter, but in fact it is a pathological manifestation. How to reduce the occurrence of these symptoms in manic patients in normal times? Nursing is essential. So, how to care for manic patients? Manic patients are not suitable to live in families with irregular family life or disharmony among family members. The room should be decorated in cool colors, such as green and blue, and the room layout should be simple and elegant. During the period when the patient is ill, try to keep the home quiet and receive as few guests as possible, such as dinners and parties. When listening to music, you should try to play some soothing serenades or light music. It is not advisable to play music with too intense and fast rhythm to avoid exciting the patient. When family members and friends interact with and talk with agitated patients, they should be kind, friendly, and patient. For patients who are talkative, try not to talk or argue too much with them, and never ridicule or laugh at them because of their exaggerated words. When the patient talks a lot, you can use the method of guiding and diverting his attention. If the patient keeps talking to the guests, the family members can remind him verbally that it is getting late and he should rest or eat, or say that the guests have other work to do and they can talk about it another day, etc. The patients will generally be happy to accept this. When dealing with patients who commit acts of injuring others or destroying property, family members must take precautions. On the one hand, we should avoid irritating the patient, because most manic patients tend to meddle in other people's business, like to stand up for others, and make a mountain out of a molehill. They will be even more dissatisfied with things that they normally don't like, and they will insist that people around them or their family members do things according to their wishes. Try to meet their relatively reasonable demands as much as possible to avoid impulsive and hurtful behavior.

Only by understanding the symptoms of postpartum mania can we determine whether we have similar problems. After giving birth, we must pay attention to getting more rest and keep ourselves positive and optimistic. We must not have any negative emotions, otherwise it may increase our chances of developing postpartum mania.
