It is understood that the woman was suspected of jumping into the lake because of a quarrel with her mother-in-law, and now her husband has rushed back from other places to negotiate with his wife's family.
Although the specific circumstances of the case still need to be further verified and confirmed, through this tragedy, let's talk about postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is actually all around us
According to the data, 10%-15% of women currently develop postpartum depression, which means that at least 1 in every 10 women have this disease, while 50%-80% will experience postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression, called "Postpartum depression" in English, mainly refers to women's depression after childbirth, and women will be depressed, sad, depressed, anxious, emotional apathy, sleep and eat, sexual life disorders, etc. for a long time.
Unfortunately, in the early stages of postpartum depression, patients are no different from ordinary people.
Many people often miss the best time to treat depression because they find depression late.
What are the general manifestations of people with depressive tendencies?
Postpartum depression is not as difficult to detect as everyone says, when suffering from depression, there will actually be some symptoms, which can be found by everyone, if you can do early detection and early treatment, the treatment effect is still very helpful.
First, often worry
As the name suggests, one of the most important manifestations of a patient is frequent depression and anxiety.
Patients are often unable to effectively regulate their emotions, always controlled by some negative emotions, many things in their view, the situation is not optimistic.
Therefore, when people around you have these symptoms, it is likely to indicate a tendency to depression.
Second, lack of passionate interest
Patients with postpartum depression are in a long-term state of anxiety and pessimism.
Therefore, there is no interest in anything and no passion for life. Many times, these people are not even willing to contact the outside world, and want to isolate themselves from the world.
People with depressive tendencies tend to become lazy for no reason and can't do anything to beat the spirits.
3. No appetite or overeating
People with postpartum depression have no enthusiasm for life, and apart from that, they have no desire for food, and they don't have anything they particularly like to eat.
But there may also be another extreme, that is, overeating, in this way, to eliminate their inner loneliness
Fourth, the sleep state is poor
People with postpartum depression tendencies tend to have poor sleep quality, always showing anxiety and thinking about something messy, which can lead to inability to fall asleep quickly at night, and long-term insomnia in serious cases.
Fifth, the way of behavior and thinking is peculiar
Postpartum depression patients not only behave differently from ordinary people, but also think differently from normal people.
The patient's mental world is always in a state of chaos, resulting in their performance being different from ordinary people, and often in the later stages, there will be cases of slow thinking and little speech.
Sixth, suicidal thoughts
Most of the people who choose suicide at the moment suffer from depression to a greater or lesser extent, which is also a reason why depression is becoming more and more valued and feared.
Postpartum depression patients are often very fragile inside, but when they encounter some small things, if they can't untie the knot, they will let themselves have suicidal thoughts.
Even more tragically, some women may kill their own children or other family members before committing suicide.
Scientific cognition can get away from the "blue melancholy"
Many people may think that they are not afraid of death, are they still afraid of living?
But for people with postpartum depression, life is actually a more painful thing than death.
Suicide is the biggest factor in maternal non-pregnancy factors, not that postpartum depression will inevitably lead to suicide, but if postpartum depression can be intervened in time, it can still effectively prevent some women from going to extremes.
This is why we need to popularize postpartum depression.
If you can have a comprehensive understanding of postpartum depression, early intervention and intervention can at least save many people's lives and avoid more tragedies.
