There are different ways to deal with postpartum emotional disorders. For postpartum mood disorder, the family should give corresponding support and comfort, and pay close observation, usually without special treatment. For more serious postpartum depression, we can combine our own situation and choose systematic psychotherapy when the symptoms are mild.
If the symptoms are serious, timely antidepressant treatment or a combination of both is needed. It should be noted that lactation should be stopped when receiving medication. At present, there is also an antidepressant treatment method of transcranial magnetic stimulation, which can also be used as a treatment option for women who insist on breastfeeding very much.
In addition, the following two points should be achieved:
1. Consult professionals in time.
At this time, we must go to the regular medical institutions for timely treatment. On the one hand, the purpose of medical treatment is to ask medical professionals to judge the nature and severity of depression, on the other hand, to receive correct guidance and treatment.
2. Establish confidence and actively debug.
