Many mothers experience depression after giving birth. This is because the mother will have certain doubts about her own charm after giving birth, and all her attention during this period is on the baby. She will have wild thoughts after giving birth and think that her family no longer cares about her. In fact, mothers should use correct means to relieve their depression and keep their mentality healthy and optimistic. So, when does postpartum depression occur? 1. Excessive mood swings during pregnancy Encountering special events during pregnancy and experiencing drastic mood swings can easily lead to postpartum depression. If you show signs of depression during pregnancy, your depression will often worsen after giving birth. 2. Strong personality and perfectionism Women who are too perfectionist or have too high expectations of themselves are often unwilling to seek help when they encounter difficulties and are unable to adapt to their role as mothers quickly. When their husbands do not understand them or do not take on the responsibility of co-parenting, they feel overwhelmed and depressed. 3. Endocrine and Hormonal Effects Pregnancy and childbirth cause changes in women's endocrine system, especially after childbirth, when hormone levels in the body change dramatically, which often leads to postpartum depression. 4. Psychological changes In addition to the physical body, pregnant women will also experience great psychological changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Once they become maladjusted and lack identification with their role positioning, many women will develop a conflicted mentality and be unable to cope with stress. What’s interesting is that the more educated women are, the greater the pressure they face, the more problems they have to consider, and the more likely they are to become depressed. 5. Physical changes Mothers with physical disabilities or illnesses are prone to postpartum depression, especially symptoms of physical discomfort which can affect their mood. 6. Family and society If a mother lacks the support and care of her parents and husband, she is likely to suffer from postpartum depression. The idea of favoring boys over girls and the family’s financial resources can make women feel overwhelmed. 7. Understanding of production Many women are afraid of childbirth. They learn about the pain of childbirth from books, newspapers and television and feel fear and anxiety, which leads to high nervous tension, endocrine disorders, increased anxiety and inducing postpartum depression. 8. Past emotional problems Women who suffer from depression before pregnancy are more likely to suffer from depression after childbirth. 9. Genetics Women with a family history of depression have a high incidence of postpartum depression. |
