If you feel you need psychological support, you can consider the following steps:
Consult a professional doctor: If you feel emotionally unstable or have other psychological problems, consult a doctor first.
Mental health experts: If doctors think it is necessary, they can consider finding an experienced mental health expert, such as a psychotherapist or a clinical psychologist.
Understand the options: discuss the options of psychotherapy during pregnancy with professionals and understand the treatment methods and programs suitable for your own situation.
Consider personal needs: according to your own situation, choose whether to conduct psychotherapy and when to start treatment.
It should be noted that psychotherapy is not only needed when problems arise, but also can be used as a preventive measure to help you maintain mental health and a positive attitude. The most important thing is to make appropriate decisions according to your own feelings and circumstances.
