How Do You Cope With Postnatal Depression?

0

Postnatal depression is common in new mothers due to the sudden change of hormones after having a baby. Although nearly all new mothers experience some type of sadness after pregnancy, postnatal depression occurs when the depression symptoms do not go away after two weeks. The depression symptoms intensify and interfere with the mother’s parenting ability. Postnatal depression is treatable, especially for mothers who seek help from a medical professional. Recognize that postnatal depression is common among new mothers and that you are not alone. Talk about your feelings with your partner, friends or family members. Make time for yourself. Sleep when the baby is sleeping and allow loved ones to help so you can visit with friends, spend time with your partner or take a shower. Eat a healthy and balanced diet to increase energy levels. Limit your commitments and try not to take on too many responsibilities. Focus on the health of yourself and the baby, and let others help you with chores
