Breastfeeding depression

Depression has become a very common disease, and the number of people suffering from depression has been increasing in recent years. Many people with depression suffer from excessive stress in their daily lives and are unable to relieve it. Patients with severe depression may even choose to commit suicide, causing great pain to their families. Many women suffer from depression while breastfeeding. So, what should we do about breastfeeding depression?

People with depression generally have some typical symptoms such as low mood, relatively less speech, and relatively slow movements. In fact, depression has become a very burdensome disease in our country. It is generally divided into mild depression and severe depression. It can be said that depression has seriously troubled the work and life of the sufferers, and some have even brought heavy burdens to their families. What's worse, it will also bring a heavy burden to society. According to statistics, more than 15% of depression patients eventually die from suicide, bringing a heavy burden to their families and society.

Lactation depression is usually caused by the mother's inability to fully adapt to her role as a mother. This situation needs attention. It not only affects the secretion of milk, but in severe cases, it may also lead to suicide or killing of the mother's own child. The consequences are very serious. It will have an impact on family, couple relationships, and the mother’s postpartum recovery will also be affected to a certain extent. If a mother is found to be suffering from lactation depression, it must be discovered and corrected in time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Here are some ways to treat breastfeeding depression:

1. New mothers should have a general understanding of postpartum depression before giving birth, so that when they find themselves with depressive symptoms, they can take better measures to reduce or alleviate the symptoms and fully regulate themselves. If there are symptoms of depression, new mothers should think positively, be more at ease, encourage themselves, and appreciate themselves. When you encounter unpleasant things, don't dwell on them, but divert your attention.

2. The physical strength of new mothers is still recovering after giving birth, so it is not suitable for them to do strenuous exercise. If you are in confinement, don't lie in bed all the time. You can walk around the house to relax your body and mind. After the confinement period, you can take a walk outdoors, breathe some fresh air, and do some simple exercises. You will immediately feel refreshed physically and mentally.

For expectant mothers who are breastfeeding, they must know how to relax themselves, and their husbands should give them greater encouragement and support, as well as more understanding and care. When expectant mothers feel irritable, they can listen to more music, which can help them relax.
