After pregnancy, women may experience some psychological and physical changes to varying degrees. Physical changes can be recovered later, but psychological problems can affect the entire pregnancy, which is not only detrimental to women's physical health, but also affects the development of the fetus. For example, there are many women with prenatal depression. Today, let's take a look at the symptoms of prenatal depression?
Prenatal depression refers to depression that occurs before a pregnant woman gives birth, including depression during pregnancy or pre pregnancy depression. Its main clinical manifestations include low mood, slow thinking, weakened willpower, sleep disorders, lack of interest and enjoyment, as well as thoughts of self harm and suicide. Women with prenatal depression are prone to anger, fatigue, frequent cravings or lack of appetite, and are not interested in anything. They can be described as having unpredictable mood swings.
Gestational depression has its own characteristics, and pregnant women experience severe early pregnancy reactions in the first three months of pregnancy, resulting in significant changes in diet and sleep. During the last three months of pregnancy, due to persistent fatigue, decreased sleep quality, and excessive concerns about fetal health and delivery, a mixed state of anxiety and depression emerged.
Women with prenatal depression should receive systematic psychological therapy to improve their irrational cognitive patterns through cognitive therapy, ultimately establishing a cognitive system to achieve the goal of treatment.
