The prevalence of postpartum (postnatal) depression in the female population is higher than the prevalence of major depression. This disorder is a huge problem in the modern world - the rate is around 13-15% of all women who give birth. The risk factor is, first of all, a history of depressive disorders, then family violence, unfavorable psychological atmosphere, unpreparedness for motherhood, chronic stress, personal characteristics (vulnerability, susceptibility, anxiety, neuroticism, etc.) According to the results Studies in children, due to depressive disorders of mothers, also show nervous disorders, which negatively affects their development in the future. In a depressed state, mothers have unreasonable fears about caring for their child, feeding, worrying about not coping with a new role or being a “bad” mother. Postnatal depression can affect not only new mothers, but also women who have given birth to children more than once. In the future, such grounds violate the psychological atmosphere of communication with the child, and can also negatively influence the formation of the mother-child interaction system and the model of education as a whole. Both doctors and psychologists are sounding the alarm about the rise in postnatal depression, and the need for special help for mothers and, of course, the mother-child dyad is growing. This disorder has long been considered postpartum despondency, blues, or designated as psychosis. Today we are seeing a slow trend towards greater attention to the psychological state of women in labor. However, often the woman herself does not understand what is happening to her, nor does her environment. In perinatal psychology and medical practice, the postpartum period in women is considered as a determining factor influencing the development of the baby in the early period. How long postpartum depression will last depends on the psychological characteristics of the woman, on her conscious attitude towards her condition. Unfortunately, most often, one can observe the reluctance of mothers to seek help due to feelings of guilt, which arose due to lack of time, fear of leaving the child for some time. The most common signs of postnatal depression are: a feeling of anxiety, unbearable heaviness, slowness, refusal of social contacts, from contacts of relatives, emotional outbursts with statements about abandoning the child, reluctance to participate in caring for him, building emotional connections with him. The birth of a child and childbirth itself are a stressful situation, and therefore a provoking situation for a woman. The list of signs continues with disappointment, isolation, exhausting, monotonous routine, lack of pleasure. Additionally, they can be influenced by: lack of understanding of the woman’s current state among relatives, lack of support from her husband (both psychological and everyday), condemnation from relatives (“you shouldn’t behave like this”, “you’re already a bad mother”, “why don’t you pull yourself together”, etc.), life events that a woman perceives as traumatic, overly significant (or they are so in reality), complications during childbirth , which were negatively perceived by the woman, or caused severe stress, psychological trauma, complications after childbirth in the health of the woman or the child. Symptoms include extreme pessimism, depressed mood, feelings of loneliness, anxiety, sadness, lack of energy, insomnia, loss of appetite, headache, emotional and physical depression, apathy, ideas of self-deprecation, feelings of panic, obsessive actions or thoughts, rapid heartbeat, gastrointestinal upset, feelings of dissatisfaction, reactions of protest, complaints about fate, tearfulness, sadness, perception of oneself as a bad mother, feelings of shame, fixations on events that happened during childbirth, after childbirth.
