Postpartum Depression
Women around the globe are resenting the day that their bodies
will go through a transformation. When postpartum depression
kicks in women often feel sluggish, unconnected to reality, and
often undergo several other symptoms that include depression.
Women that undergo postpartum depression (PPD) often go through
bouts of crying uncontrollable and very seldom do they
understand the cause. There thinking is often irrational and
their emotions are often tangled
One minute they are struggling to go to sleep and the next
minute they can't seem to wake up. Once a baby is born the
family, friends, mother and so forth a suppose to join in a
joyful expedition. Sometimes mothers go through postpartum
depression however, and the birth seems more like a curse than a
joyous moment. Instead of sharing a happy moment mothers often
feel a sense of guilt because they simply because they may
resent the birth of their baby.
All of a sudden, you begin feeling sadness, despair,
worthlessness, and insomnia kicks in. Then you go through panic
attacks while feeling a sense of shame. In addition, it doesn't
stop there. Next you begin feeling fear of loosing control of
your actions, you start feeling like your mind is tumbling, and
your concentration has vanished. Still, you feel nausea,
agitated, your heart races, and you breathing is complicated.
The symptoms are increasing as you feel an imbalance level of
worry toward your child, hopelessness since you have no control,
exhausted from all the mental changes, and suicidal because you
see no way out. The battle is just beginning. Mothers than
suffer from postpartum depression often have an underlying
psychological impairment, possible biological imbalances,
including Posttraumatic Stress if the mother undergoes a
horrible birthing.
Most professionals will treat postpartum depression with
antidepressants combining it with therapy. It is important for
mothers with postpartum depression to seek help immediately,
since the diagnose does not only affect the patient, it affects
everyone around you, including your baby. Babies need their
mother, and when the mother is unable to provide emotional
nourishment and loving care, and then a baby will suffer as it
grows into adulthood. Just like any diagnose there are
triggers
that may interrupt the mother, including difficult births,
isolating one self, death, changes in living arrangements,
hereditary, financial difficulties and so forth. Unfortunately,
some of these triggers are going to happen.
Most therapists have found treating women with postpartum
depression, treating them with antidepressants and therapy has
worked wonders. Recently studies are finding that depression may
also be treated with Electromagnetic therapy. Scientists are
constantly searching for a solution to treat depression so the
end of the world hasn't arrived. There is hope. Studies have
also shown that writing down your episodes, feelings and so
forth is a great therapeutic relief. Talking is also a great
source for eliminating stress, which is often linked to
depression.
It is important to get regular checkups after your baby is born
to eliminate biological reasoning for the postpartum depression.
In most cases, doctors may prescribe Valiums, Prozac, or Zoloft.
It depends on the person, but for some mothers one or the other
medications work, while others have no results. If you are
suffering postpartum depression, it is also important for the
family to offer support and understanding. Since, you may have
suicidal thoughts the last thing anyone needs to do is push you
over the edge. It is also important that the resentment you feel
is not necessary toward your baby. It could be that you resent
an area of your life, or an occurrence and the baby seems to be
the target. You might want to try listening to easy music when
you feel a sense of loss, or episodes of the diagnose erupt.
Music has proven to heal the soul. In addition, you might want
to start exercising since this too has proven to do wonders with
people that suffer mental or physical illnesses. Exercise
relieves the mind often because you are doing something to
better yourself and improve your health. Therefore, if you are
in postpartum depression, there are answers and you should never
give up hope!
