Postnatal depression

By the nature it is provided, that the woman after sorts feels the present psychoemotional lifting. The pleasure of motherhood which overflows soul, allows to forget about weariness, nedospannyh nights, all is possible with ease. But sometimes happens in another way … For 10-14 day after sorts when you with the kid already were discharged from hospital and have come back home, suddenly all pay attention to yours "nesobrannost" and undue fatigability. The duties assigned to you on care of the child seem to you simply impossible, irritates a slowness of own movements, thoughts, actions. Overcomes grief, depression, weakness. Sometimes such condition describe as "an intolerable emotional pain which weighs soul, bakes, turns out it, destroys from within".

At women who are disturbed by such problem, dream infringements always take place. They complain that too early wake up, uneasily sleep at night. Any movement, a sigh or peace puffing of the kid in a dream force them to "break" from a bed with the big alarm, and then long time to think, "worry" the difficulties, not falling asleep.

It is natural, that in the morning after such night the woman as "squeezed orange", at all has no vigour. It does not allow it to finish affairs already begun earlier, to look after the kid. Eventually, such picture appears: all work is suspended, and the woman lays in a bed alone with the thoughts.

Small errors during performance of duties of mother and the wife become the reason of too critical relation to, sometimes generate ideas of self-charge, attract conflict situations.

Sometimes young mum has "causeless" attacks of annoyance or tearfulness. It, certainly, is displayed on relations with the husband - in them there is a misunderstanding, estrangement …

The reasons of development of postnatal depression happen the diversified. Sometimes the reasons which caused depression occurrence to find out in a condition only the skilled psychologist. But, undoubtedly, there is one general for all cases the factor, to neglect which it is not necessary, - the woman very difficultly adapts to new conditions of a life. If during pregnancy it was object of special attention of relatives, their anxiety and guardianship after a birth of the kid itself should look after the child and the husband. Has put at all in work volume, and in the big and absolutely new responsibility.

Postnatal depression in the easy form is widespread enough phenomenon which passes completely. Heavier cases demand constant supervision, consultation from the expert, corresponding treatment.

It is necessary to address to the doctor when at you after sorts have appeared:

  • Proof sensation of grief, concern, "futility" of existence;
  • Constantly there is at mood a hopelessness, pessimism;
  • Loss of interest to the child, the husband;
  • Dream frustration (a sleeplessness, early awakening);
  • Not disappearing sensation of weariness, izmozhdennosti, even some delay in thinking and movements, vigour reduction;
  • Thoughts on death or suicide;
  • bespokojnost behaviour, irritability, a conflictness;
  • Difficulties in concentration of attention, storing, thinking, decision-making.

The majority of women with postnatal depression feel, that their condition differs from norm though these distinctions are difficult for putting into words. However this condition has any especial quality for each young mum, as allows it to distinguish it from differences habitual for everyone person and mood changes.

For overcoming of postnatal depression it is useful:

  1. To realise, that such condition meets at many women, and not just at you.
  2. To understand, that this condition is temporary, quickly will pass and will not leave any consequences (unless memoirs).
  3. To involve in care of the child of all, whom it is possible (the husband, mother, the mother-in-law, the nurse) to release to itself time for rest.
  4. To normalise a dream. Within 8-9 hours throughout several days sometimes it is enough continuous night dream to lose disease.
  5. During day rest when it is not slept, in any case do not lay, vpjaliv a sight in a ceiling, in search of "disturbing" thoughts. Move - walk in park, walk on shops, be engaged in favourite business (knitting, embroidery), dance, sing.
  6. Receive only positive emotions - buy the collection of jokes, look "old kind" a comedy, meet friends in a neutral territory.
  7. In any case not "hold in itself" the feelings. Say about everything, that feel, with people whom you are not indifferent.
  8. Do not try to be "strong" if it would be desirable to begin to cry - do not constrain some tears. Tears bring simplification.
  9. Your food has the big influence on your state of health. Therefore, enough of vitamins В1, В12, With, folic and nicotinic acids - an indispensable condition. Them will find in vegetables and fruit, bean, porridges, greens, a liver, meat, yeast, vysevkah.
  10. Realise what to lose a depression to you the psychologist or the psychiatrist will help, and to address to them for the help it is completely not a shame.
