How to treat postpartum depression? We can start from the following aspects. 1. Sports
Even during pregnancy, don't neglect physical exercise, especially for women who sit in the office for a long time. You can choose some suitable aerobic exercise, which is conducive to the early recovery of physical fitness and the faster completion of role transformation. Usually, you can also take a walk near your home with a stroller, or go out for dinner with friends, which is also a kind of physical and mental relaxation.
2. Psychological adjustment
In order not to be overwhelmed and in a hurry after delivery, it is a good way to learn some knowledge about parenting before delivery, such as reading books and listening to lectures. Through these channels, we can learn how to breast-feed, bathe and stay overnight, and how to communicate with the baby and deal with the common diseases of the baby, so as to make corresponding psychological preparations. I believe that pregnant mothers will take their time after giving birth. If you feel emotionally unstable, you can talk to friends or seek professional help.
3. Material preparation
A few months before the baby is born, it is necessary to prepare clothes, diapers, bedding, etc. What the baby needs, decorate the room where the mother and the baby live.
4. Room layout
The room should have sufficient lighting, but it is not suitable for direct light. You can hang a screen window to block it. Open the window frequently to keep the indoor air fresh. If you are worried that your mother and baby will catch cold in winter, you can let them stay in another room when it is ventilated.
5. Family support
No matter whether the child is male or female, family members should not complain, but should treat the child equally, accept the arrival of the baby happily, and create a relaxed and harmonious family atmosphere for the parturient.
6. Husband's cooperation
In fact, what a woman needs most after childbirth is someone to accompany her and understand her. During confinement, the husband had better spend more time with his wife and help her take care of the baby, such as bathing the baby and washing diapers. At the same time, the husband should be considerate of his wife's mood swings and avoid quarreling with her.
7. Be kind to yourself
Don't completely ignore your own needs just because you have a baby. Only by ensuring sufficient energy can we take better care of our children. Insufficient sleep can easily lead to depression. Someone who takes over during the day can have a rest. Don't wait for the children to fall asleep before rushing to do housework. For some complicated and unimportant affairs, you can selectively ignore them, leaving yourself room to relax and spend time alone with your husband. After such a period of time, depression will gradually ease.
The above is about postpartum depression and its related problems. If you have any related questions, please seek professional help. Psychological counseling is to use psychological theories and methods to help visitors find their own problems and their roots, tap their own potential, change their original cognitive structure and behavior, and maintain mental health.
Finally, choosing a suitable counselor is an important guarantee for the effect of psychological counseling. Please choose carefully.
