This situation may be postpartum depression. At this time, it is necessary to seek psychological counseling, learn to regulate one's mood, think more about happy things, and spend more time with family.
How to treat postpartum depression
During pregnancy, medication should be avoided as much as possible. Generally, patients with mild depression do not need to be hospitalized, but they should pay attention to self-regulation of their psychology. If you encounter unhappy things, you should communicate with family and friends in a timely manner to release psychological pressure.
Patients with severe depressive symptoms, such as poor memory, anxiety, sleep disorders, and significant emotional fluctuations, should seek medical treatment promptly. In addition to psychological adjustment, the treatment method also requires necessary medication based on the condition.
It is worth noting that the treatment of prenatal depression should prevent the use of drugs that affect fetal growth and development. The treatment of postpartum depression should fully consider the physical condition of the mother. At the same time, attention should be paid to observing changes in the patient's condition and reactions after medication, and adjusting the treatment plan in a timely manner in order to achieve the best treatment effect.
