What are the recommended psychological adjustment methods for postpartum depression?

Maternal personality characteristics, cognitive evaluation, and coping style are directly related to the impact of negative stress events, cultivate self-confidence, optimism, positivity, and healthy character, adopt positive cognitive patterns, emotions and behavior patterns, and improve the ability to adapt to the environment. Self-confidence, optimism, courage to face difficulties, actively mobilize internal forces or turn to external forces to overcome difficulties, so as to minimize the degree of adverse stress results. Avoid negative coping styles, such as self-denial, pessimism, somatization, avoidance of problem solving, negative emotions and negative behaviors;

Love the new life, and have a happy heart for the arrival of the child. The birth of a new life is the crystallization of marriage and the continuation of life, which will bring new hope, joy and happiness to the family.

To do a good job of changing the role of the mother, who used to be the object of care, and now is responsible for taking care of the baby, you must be psychologically prepared and pay attention to overcoming the sense of loss, such as the loss of freedom and a lot of entertainment, the loss of your previous identity, the loss of your slender figure, etc. As a mother of children, her values need to change, her expectations for herself, her husband, and her children should be close to reality, and her views on life should also be realistic, and strive to increase her sense of happiness and responsibility, and feel the happiness brought by the birth of a new life;

Give up the idea of perfectionism, don't force yourself to do everything, don't expect everything to be perfect, and do your best without feeling tired.

People suffering from postpartum depression will have symptoms of insomnia, and should supplement some high-protein and high-fiber foods in time. Oatmeal, for example, produces melatonin, and a small bowl of cereal with a little sugar maple juice can help promote sleep. Drinking a glass of warm milk before going to bed can effectively promote sleep, because the tryptophan contained in milk has a good calming effect and can help mothers fall asleep quickly.

I have seen a lot of postpartum anxious mothers, some postpartum anxiety is caused by nervousness, restlessness, low self-esteem and other factors, then Muxi mother suggested that mothers can learn some ways to relax themselves, such as listening to some comfortable **, recalling some good things, reading some books such as parenting, these methods can alleviate maternal anxiety by diverting attention, every mother is great, to establish self-confidence, through self-motivation and other means to cheer for themselves.

My approach is to take the initiative to confide in my husband, family, and friends, to release my stress and gain self-identity. Shift your attention from family chores to something relaxing, and engage in more recreational activities, but not strenuous exercise.

Here I think to eat more fruits rich in vitamin B, such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, bananas, grapes, etc. Vitamin B12 when mixed with vitamin B5 helps to get better and longer sleep, and vitamin B5 also has the effect of reducing stress and anxiety.

I am also a mother, I will always feel depressed alone, as a mother can find the same lactating mother through multiple channels to share and exchange experience, Muxi mother is like to share parenting knowledge with others, because of the common characteristics, the communication will be smoother, in the process of exchange and sharing, you can not only learn some parenting experience, but also pour out your inner troubles, vent your negative emotions, the effect of this method is more obvious.

In fact, I think that during the confinement period, the mother needs more care and care from the family, and the husband and mother-in-law can communicate with the mother openly, express the love in a friendly language and appropriate way, and do not blame and complain about the mother, so as to achieve the purpose of alleviating the anxiety of the mother, and the mother in a warm and sweet family is more likely to spend the postpartum anxiety period.

I recommend supplementing calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus, which can help regulate and improve sleep conditions, and have the effect of tonifying the spleen and soothing the nerves. Therefore, after giving birth, trace elements should be supplemented in moderation, and eat more foods such as nuts, whole grains, cereals, etc.

Because mothers will face a lot of pressure after giving birth, some women with poor tolerance will have postpartum depression because of this. So how to regulate postpartum depression and how to psychologically treat postpartum depression**?

1. When women suffer from postpartum depression, they should consciously control their emotions, especially when negative emotions such as depression, anger, and anxiety appear, it is best to think of something happy or do something that can make them happy to divert attention.

2. When taking care of children, you can seek help from your husband or family members to avoid making yourself feel irritable. At the same time, you should allow yourself plenty of rest time to avoid overexertion.

3. When you are bored, you should choose a healthy way to vent, and don't use overeating and quarreling with your husband to vent. It's important to choose a suitable stress relief method that can be relieved by exercising, shopping, and talking to friends.

1. Dietary regulation. Pregnant women should pay attention to dietary regulation after giving birth, many foods are still very helpful for the recovery of depression, such as eating more red food, eating more things that are good for calming the mind and calming the nerves, and also pay attention not to let the mother eat some cold things, which is not good for the recovery of the uterus after childbirth.

2. Spiritual comfort. During the delivery of pregnant women, the nursing staff try to accompany and experience guidance to give pregnant women a certain amount of spiritual comfort, especially the first-time mother has not experienced such a fierce delivery process, there will be a psychological gap, if there are people around to accompany it will be better, after the careful care of the family can also alleviate postpartum depression.

3. Autosuggestion. Some pregnant women lack the identity of motherhood and are worried that they will not be able to fulfill the role of mother, while others are influenced by traditional ideas or poor conceptions of fertility, and are particularly concerned about the sex of the newborn. Therefore, there will be a lot of psychological pressure invisibly, and at this time, the family should give understanding and care to her, and will support her no matter what.

If you have a hypocrisy for postpartum depression, you can choose or comprehensively use psychological, drug, physical and other improvements and postpartum depression as appropriate. Psychology generally includes psychoanalysis, behavioral cognition, expressive arts, supportive psychology, focus shifting, etc., psychological counselors use persuasion, encouragement, sympathy, comfort, support, understanding and assurance to effectively eliminate bad emotions, so that they can be vented, feel supported, respected, understood, and confident.

In the process of psychoanalysis, it is very important to establish a trusting, safe and confidential relationship with patients with postpartum depression, and in the process, the counselor will empathize and analyze the patient's impedance, empathy, psychological defense mechanisms, etc., with the help of free association, dream interpretation, etc., to help them understand their subconscious motivation and meaning, and promote psychological growth and maturity and the integrity and development of the whole personality.

2. Behavioral cognition**

Most patients with postpartum depression have unreasonable and negative cognitive methods, which can help them face prenatal and postnatal changes, gradually change their unreasonable cognition and unadaptive behaviors, replace negative poor and frustrating thoughts with positive beliefs, improve their ability to cope with things and predicaments, and improve depressive symptoms.

3. Expressive Arts**

Generally, it includes sand table**, painting**, ****, etc. Compared with verbal psychology**, expressive art** is more conducive to relieving tension and repression in depressed patients, making it easier to express their inner feelings, and can better approach the unconscious. In the process of expressive art** for patients, it will also be supplemented by narrative**, relaxation**, etc., to help them achieve the goal of the final depressive state through problem presentation, self-awareness, transformation and integration.

In summary, postpartum depression is a mood disorder and can also be said to be a mood state. As long as the cause of it is understood, timely prevention and intervention from all aspects, it can be avoided and cured. Motherhood is a sacred, great, joyful moment, and the process of completing childbirth also makes us feel the wholeness and purity of life.

I hope that all patients with postpartum depression can have a correct and positive new understanding and transformation, feel the care of the people around them, quickly adapt to new changes and new roles, enjoy the happiness of being a mother, and better be a qualified mother.

Psychological counseling is the use of psychological theories and methods to help clients discover their own problems and their root causes, tap their own potential, change their original cognitive structure and behavior, and maintain mental health.

Behavior adjustment: Although patients can not do strenuous exercise after giving birth, they can still do some gentle and comfortable activities to relax, such as deep breathing, walking, laughing and sitting, meditation, etc., which is helpful for patients to regulate their emotions and stabilize their mentality.

2. Self-encouragement: patients may have some self-blame and loss of confidence in life after giving birth, at this time, patients can think more about their own advantages, see more good things, and improve their symptoms to a certain extent.
