When Zhao announced the news of pregnancy on Weibo, as a new mother, she was filled with joy. However, it is said that after the birth of the child, Zhao often cried because he felt that he could not take care of the child well, and his mind became sensitive. It is this sentence that makes netizens guess whether Zhao has postpartum depression.

When the concept of postpartum depression was not very popular, many people thought it was purely melodramatic. However, postpartum depression is actually a high incidence of postpartum in modern women. It refers to the obvious depressive symptoms or typical depressive episodes caused by various physiological and psychological factors after delivery, which belongs to postpartum mental syndrome, accompanied by postpartum restlessness and postpartum psychosis.

The main symptoms include nervousness, anxiety, guilt, self-blame and fear. In serious cases, they may hurt their children or even commit suicide.

Physiologically, the hormone levels in women will change dramatically after delivery, and estrogen, progesterone, corticosteroids and thyroid hormones with high pregnancy index will plummet, and the original happiness will disappear. In addition, women immediately become mothers after giving birth, and take care of the children with one hand, such as coaxing, feeding and changing diapers. Coupled with the decline in sleep quality, it is easy to produce feelings of injustice, irritability and irritability.

Psychologically, the new mother lacks social and family support, but also faces the status quo of being out of shape and lacking social contact after delivery. Their self-identity is seriously reduced and they gradually lose confidence in themselves. In addition, worrying too much about the newborn baby will also affect women's psychological state.

According to the survey, the incidence of postpartum depression is between 15%-30%, which usually occurs within 6 weeks after delivery, and will recover spontaneously after three months or six months, and the severe cases will last for one to two years. This set of data makes many pregnant women and pregnant women feel scared, so how to prevent postpartum depression?
