How to treat postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression is a mental illness that many women may suffer from after giving birth. It not only affects their own physical and mental health, but is also detrimental to the health of the baby. Therefore, patients must pay attention to adjusting their mental state and can seek help from a psychologist.

1.☆ Actively ask for help:

Women who suffer from postpartum depression may feel helpless. Psychological experts believe that this feeling of helplessness may be a recurrence of the shadow of being neglected in childhood. This is actually a signal that you want to get the attention of others, so actively seeking and accepting the attention of others is a very effective way of self-protection.

2.☆ Relaxation and recharging method:

Appropriately adjust and change the content of your life. Don't pay attention to your children all the time and ignore yourself. Leave your children to be taken care of by other people temporarily and give yourself a short vacation, even for two hours or half a day, to relax yourself and recharge your spirit. Avoid psychological and emotional overdraft.

3. Behavior adjustment method:

Since women are not suitable for strenuous exercise after giving birth, some appropriate relaxation activities are very necessary, such as deep breathing, walking, meditation, meditating on calm images, listening to soothing and beautiful music, etc.

4. ☆ Self-encouragement method:

Appreciate yourself, look more at your own strengths, look more at the benefits of things, and think more about the possible successful side of things.

5. Self-realization method:

Having children is only one way for women to realize themselves, but it is by no means the only way, so don't forget that there are other potentials and needs for self-realization. Maybe you can take advantage of the maternity leave to focus on the career you are good at, and when the maternity leave is over, you will have a completely new image.
