Introduction to coping measures for male postpartum depression

When welcoming the arrival of a new life, not only will new mothers be very nervous, but also some male friends who are first-time fathers will inevitably be particularly nervous. After the birth of the child, they will have to take care of the child, which will cause tension and pressure. Now there is postpartum depression in men. What should we do? Let me introduce it to you.

1. Common symptoms of postpartum depression in men

The symptoms of postpartum depression in men are not as intense as those in women, and are more "subtle". Common symptoms include: feeling troubled all day, mental confusion, loss of appetite, and severe sleep disorders. Some people are just short-term irritable, while others do not want to go to work and have no enthusiasm for anything. A small number of men with more severe postpartum depression symptoms may show some abnormal behaviors similar to those in the early stages of mental illness, such as unexplained temper, crying, wanting to escape when encountering things, and even a tendency to domestic violence.

2. Solutions to postpartum depression in men

Postpartum depression symptoms in men are milder than those in women, and most are self-limiting. After a period of self-adjustment, they can basically heal without medication. However, if low mood and poor sleep affect physical health and work efficiency, you can take some Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and activate blood circulation to help regulate your condition.

For patients with severe postpartum depression, most of them are introverted, immature, and relatively fragile. Relatives and friends should pay close attention to them and help them vent their negative emotions. If necessary, they should seek help from a psychologist.

The coping measures for male postpartum depression are also very detailed. In daily life, male friends who are taking care of babies should relieve their tension and not be too nervous, which can also cause postpartum depression. In fact, you can give your husband more comfort.
