The main myth about motherhood is that all moms are happy 24\/7 because they interact with their wonderful babies. But, as you can imagine, this is far from the truth if a mother is depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the main symptoms that can suggest postpartum depression?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Depressed mood, constantly low emotions, inability to enjoy any joyful moments in life.<\/li><li>Getting tired or irritated when interacting with the baby. A mother may show aggression towards the child or other members of the family.<\/li><li>Being distracted, inability to focus on one task at a time.<\/li><li>Increased emotional sensitivity, easily triggered emotional responses.<\/li><li>Temporary or constant bouts of tears, emotional exhaustion.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Low appetite, disruption of sleep, different aches and pains (head, stomach, muscles, joints, etc.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealing with anxiety and powerlessness amid emotional exhaustion is not an easy task in itself. And if a woman in such a state does not also receive the support of her loved ones, then the task becomes practically impossible &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where postpartum depression comes from is not fully understood to this day: stress, fatigue, hereditary predisposition in addition to hormonal fluctuations, social disturbances, changes in appearance, problems with the partner &#8212; all this increases the chances of developing depression. But we need to note that depression can also happen in a seemingly normal life situation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"alt-notice\" align=\"center\"><b><font color=\"white\">UNLOCKING MENTAL WELLBEING<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Self-therapy can be an essential tool for personal growth and self-improvement.<br \/>Browse through our <a href=\"https:\/\/mindspa-dev.ru\/es\/courses\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>courses<\/u><\/a> and see the positive changes they can bring to your life.<\/p>\n<p>You are not sure where to begin?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p class=\"product woocommerce add_to_cart_inline example-cart-button\" style=\"border: 0px;\"><a class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\" href=\"https:\/\/mindspa-dev.ru\/en\/psy-tests\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">TAKE A FREE TEST<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"buttons\" style=\"border: 0px;\"><a class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\" href=\"https:\/\/mindspa.typeform.com\/to\/za9nGe8T\" rel=\"nofollow\"><small><u>or get a free consultation<\/u><\/small><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, it seems that the young mother wants only one thing &#8212; that everyone would leave her alone. But in reality, she needs someone to understand her, share and validate her feelings, and provide support without criticizing or lecturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can you help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Talk to the young mother, ask how she feels. Note any alarming symptoms \u2013 constant fatigue, lack of focus, irritation, or apathy.<\/li><li>Help with household chores, give her a chance to be by herself without the child. Allow her to leave the house not just to run the baby-related errands, but also just for herself (to a spa or hair salon, go dancing, or for a walk).<\/li><li>Never use any \u201cmotivating\u201d phrases such as \u201cpull yourself together\u201d, \u201cyou must\u201d, \u201cnow you are a mother\u201d, etc.<\/li><li>Provide emotional support. She needs to know that she can talk about difficult feelings without being judged.<\/li><li>If the situation doesn\u2019t improve, try to convince her to seek professional help. Find specialists and share their contact info with her.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are the one who is experiencing postpartum depression \u2013 remember the main things:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It can be dealt with.<\/li><li>You are a good mother.<\/li><li>This is not your fault, you are just experiencing a certain state and you need help.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Take good care of yourself.
