Recently, a post has sparked a hot discussion about a daily record of a mother. This mother not only has to raise a baby every day, but also rushes to work, although with the help of her family, she is still busy from early morning to late at night.
Here's her post, so you can get a feel for it.
After reading this detailed schedule, I sincerely admired this mother and paid tribute to every busy mother.
At the same time, we have also seen that working mothers have to take into account the hardships and pressures of family, work and parent-child relationships, work with children in one hand, and raise both babies and families, coupled with the epidemic in the past two years, working mothers have undergone greater psychological tests.
Mother's Day (May 8) is coming, and today I would like to talk to you about the psychological problems that women may face at different times from becoming mothers to entering old age, so let us pay attention to the mental health of mothers.
Psychological stress before and after childbirth
In recent years, reports of extreme events caused by postpartum depression have increasingly entered the public eye, such as a mother in Xuzhou who jumped off a building due to postpartum depression in November 2021; in July 2020, a young mother in Chengdu jumped off a building with a two-year-old child...
These incidents are very regrettable.
The prenatal and postnatal period is a very critical period for women.
Expectant mothers during pregnancy face a variety of stresses, which are mainly manifested as:
1. The pressure of having boys and girls. There are still some people, especially the elders, who are more eager to have boys, which will make pregnant women bear psychological pressure from the beginning of pregnancy.
2, too much attention to pregnancy, will make some pregnant women become squeamish and willful, slightly unsatisfactory tantrums.
3. Excessive attention to the fetus will cause pregnant women to have excessive expectations and nervousness.
4. Fear of childbirth, fear, worry and irritability.
After childbirth, attention should also be paid to the psychological changes of the new mother.
Postpartum depression (PPD) has been classified as a type of major depressive disorder (MDD) by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The prevalence of postpartum depression reported in the mainland is as high as 14.7%, and based on the annual birth population in China, more than 2 million new mothers are expected to suffer from perinatal depression each year. If you add to that the number of people who suffer from bad emotions after childbirth, the numbers are even more staggering.
If you find a new mother's psychological problems, you must pay attention to and intervene in time.
Emotional problems during menopause
Menopause is also a period when psychological problems are more likely to occur.
Due to changes in hormone levels in the body, this period may experience upset, palpitations, hot flashes and sweating, most of which are not too serious, and many women will pass through menopause smoothly.
However, some women will be more serious and continue to be unrestrained for a long time, and it will be accompanied by discomfort throughout the body. For example, chest tightness, low mood, easy fatigue, easy to be nervous and worried, sleep and poor appetite. For this situation, we can not think that it is just a problem of menopause, it is likely that there are also emotional problems, and it is necessary to go to a professional medical institution for evaluation in order to deal with it in a timely manner.
Psychological problems in old age should be vigilant about it
In the old age when they should be happy, some women are facing new pressures, such as illness, empty nests, taking care of the elderly, etc., and some think that they are not useful when they are old, and they are prone to feel lost, worried, lonely and taciturn.
The psychological problems that occur during this period, we must first be vigilant about whether they are organic causes, such as cerebrovascular diseases, emotional problems caused by Alzheimer's disease, and psychological disorders caused by other physical diseases.
The main feature of emotional problems in the elderly is that somatization symptoms are more common, and mostly appear in the digestive system and cardiovascular system, causing stomach discomfort and heart discomfort, but going back and forth to medical examination can not find problems, accompanied by sleep disorders, bad mood and other manifestations. If these conditions occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
