Psychologists have found that women often experience inability to eat, depression, and anxiety after childbirth due to changes in the endocrine system and fatigue. Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as postpartum depression, which refers specifically to women's unilateral behavior.
However, experts have found that many symptoms of postpartum depression are constantly spreading to men.
Not long ago, Mr. Zhang, who worked as a chef in a restaurant, had a baby with his wife. In addition to being happy, he began to worry about many issues in his future life. As a result, his mental pressure continued to increase, his temper became increasingly irritable, and he even became furious over some minor matters. Moreover, I often suffer from insomnia and feel unhappy all day long. Now that he can no longer work, he resigns and goes home.
Mr. Zhang went to the hospital and was diagnosed by a doctor and found to have symptoms of postpartum depression. The doctor told him that some symptoms of postpartum depression in men are due to:
First, suddenly obtaining a child without any psychological preparation inevitably brings spiritual burden to some people;
Secondly, when a loved one gives birth to a child, the husband will also feel tired. In addition to normal work, he also needs to take care of his wife and children;
Third, women more or less spend a considerable amount of energy on their children after childbirth, and spiritual support will also be transferred from their husbands to their children, thereby diluting their kindness and tenderness towards their husbands. Such changes may be a blow to some men.
Men unfortunately suffer from postpartum depression, characterized by persistent distress, trance, loss of appetite, and other symptoms. The cause of postpartum depression in men lies entirely in mental stress. If this pressure is not resolved properly, it can have very serious consequences.
According to experts, some people are simply short-tempered, while others do not want to work and lack enthusiasm for anything. In serious cases, it can lead to family breakdown and even harm to parents and children. The most serious ones are misguided habits such as excessive drinking and gambling.
How to effectively solve male postpartum depression?
For male postpartum depression, only by looking for a gap in its causes can it be completely resolved.
First of all, it is necessary to make sufficient psychological preparations. On the one hand, before the child is born, it is necessary to learn some knowledge about parenting from books. On the other hand, during the period after the child is born, it is necessary to pay attention to their own psychological adjustment and understand that temporary difficulties are inevitable, and there is no need to worry.
Secondly, communicate with family and friends more, pour out your troubles to others, and seek help. Finally, take the initiative to seek the help of a psychologist to identify the crux and, if necessary, assist with medication.
Remind people that postnatal depression in men has not yet attracted attention. Therefore, regardless of the patient or the doctor, they should take this type of symptoms that appear in men seriously, so that they can be treated faster, better, and earlier.
