Recently, I saw a news report about a woman who jumped off a building due to postpartum depression. I wonder why postpartum depression occurs? What are the reasons for the increasing prevalence of postpartum depression?

Hi, landlord. I saw that you were talking about postpartum depression. My next sharing can give you some reference opinions.

Yes, postpartum depression is pretty common these days, especially for moms born in the '80s, '90s, and even the '00s. It's pretty common for dads to get it too. It's not hard to spot the signs. The key is knowing how to handle it and communicate.

Postpartum depression can affect anyone, regardless of gender, wealth, identity, or status. It can surprise even the wealthiest or most privileged, and it can capture anyone.

This also explains why many young parents end up struggling with prenatal depression when they become parents for the first time.

Why does this happen?

Pregnancy can be a time when mums-to-be feel the need to restrict themselves in various ways, whether that's in terms of diet, playing electronic games, finances or socialising. It's not uncommon for their previous personality to change gradually, and it can take time for them to adapt to this new version of themselves.

Family issues like the relationship between a husband and wife or between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can also contribute to depression.

If postpartum depression isn't addressed, it can have a negative impact on your life.

When someone is trapped by depressive emotions, they become more extreme. They close themselves off and refuse to change. They lose touch with reality and allow their habits to fall by the wayside.

Prenatal depression can make a person lose sight of what's important in life. Those in such a state of mind will be unable to feel the joy in life, and everything they see will seem gray and dismal.

Dealing with postpartum depression means communicating and working through things. It's often said that finding peace comes from within. Postpartum depression, to put it simply, is caused by psychological factors. For instance, young mothers-to-be, who are still children themselves, have become parents without realizing it and lack experience in this area. This can leave them unsure of how to respond when their children cry and scream.

Another thing to keep in mind is that mothers born in the '80s, '90s, and even the '00s tend to have pretty strong self-esteem. They may not always be open to listening to other people's opinions, especially when it comes to parenting. You're used to doing things your own way, especially when it comes to raising children. You don't have much experience, so when problems come up, you might find it difficult to ask for advice from others. With the sound of your child crying, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and fall apart.

The best way to treat depression is to calm your emotions. Don't be impatient or panic when things happen. Talk to your family or friends about how you're feeling and share your experiences with them.

When you have a problem, ask for advice.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

It's heartbreaking to hear about such tragic events. Postpartum depression can happen due to hormonal changes and the stress of caring for a newborn.
