How long will postpartum depression recur?
In fact, the duration of postpartum depression is uncertain. According to different people's physical conditions, the duration of postpartum depression will be different. Everyone's living environment and mentality are different, so the time is different, so we can't generalize. Some mothers will recover quickly, but some mothers will last for a long time. Typical postpartum depression usually occurs within six weeks after delivery, which can last for the whole puerperium, and some times will be longer.
More and more women will suffer from postpartum depression, with symptoms such as listlessness, depression, tears, emotional excitement, sensitivity, insomnia, headache and dizziness. Patients can't be stimulated by the outside world at this time, otherwise the depression will be more serious. If it can't be improved well, it will prolong the illness time.
A series of changes will take place in a woman's body after childbirth. Abnormal hormone level is an important factor causing postpartum depression. This is mainly because pregnancy will produce placental steroids, which will make pregnant women very happy. However, after giving birth, this substance will be greatly reduced, and pregnant women will have depressive symptoms. Of course, it will also be related to their living environment and lack of care.
