Postpartum depression
What is Postpartum Depression?
 Tom Cruise
and  Brooke Shields
engaging in a word war against each other because of a type of
depression, called  postpartum depression. Cruise's and
Brooke's debacle
started when Tom Cruise openly disapproved of Brooke Shield's personal
choice of opting to take prescribed medicines to cure her postpartum
depression, when he guested at the Today Show. According to Cruise, who
is a popular devotee of Scientology,
Brooke Shields should have instead, opted to cure her postpartum
depression by doing healthy exercises. He has since, taken a milder
stance on this. Adding to that a lot of people have
been misinformed about depression and how to actually cure this common
illness.
But what is postpartum depression really? We've heard
about it often enough, yet are we really sure that we know enough about
it for us to actually understand this illness in order for us to help
ourselves as well as others? Being pregnant should really be a source
of joy for everyone, especially the mother to be, who for nine months,
will actually have living being grow from inside of her.
Unfortunately,
there is another side to this joyous occasion, being pregnant means
that you and your body will have to get used to some adjustments for
you to have a safe pregnancy. Smoking, alcohol, strenuous activities as
well as stress should be avoided at all cost. A healthy baby means
having a healthy mother as well. But given that you have been able to
successfully avoided all these bad habits for your baby to be,
childbirth is a whole different thing, as much as we may try to avoid
it, there are still some unfortunate cases wherein the mother's as well
as the baby's life might be in danger.
But there's actually
more, postpartum depression actually happens after childbirth. Although
it's quite common and a lot of women have learned to how to deal with
it as well as successfully treat it, it is still
quite avoidable. Postpartum depression is actually a lot like
depression, but only new moms are the possible victims of this illness.
There are actually a lot possible reasons why postpartum depression
occurs:
Childbirth as we all know is not as easy as pie, actual
physical stress from giving birth is one of the main reasons why
postpartum depression occurs. Next postpartum depression trigger is
massive changes is hormonal levels. A lot of moms-to-be who were
hesitant about bearing a child are also more susceptible to postpartum
depression, those who are not ready to be a mother yet are more easily
to get depressed as opposed to happy and excited moms-to-be.
When
postpartum depression happens, it really is best to go to the doctor
immediately. Aside from obviously having ill-effects for the new
mother, postpartum depression can prove to be harmful to the child as
well. New mothers who are suffering from postpartum depression may be
harboring ill feelings toward their children. Their are actually some
cases of murder wherein postpartum depression has been cited as the
reason.
Mothers who suffer from postpartum depression may blame their
child for their weight gain, thus feeling like they've become less
attractive and unloved. It is really best to consult a reputable
cognitive behavior therapist to take care of your postpartum woes, your
therapist may prescribe medicines to help cure postpartum depression
as well as therapy sessions to help relieve whatever pent emotions that
you may have.
