What are the symptoms of mild postpartum depression?

Women are easily affected by their mood during pregnancy, and are also prone to mild postpartum depression. Depression can make women feel very depressed, unhappy and tired. Although these phenomena also occur in normal people, they are generally short-lived. So let's take a look at the manifestations of mild postpartum depression.

First, what are the symptoms of mild postpartum depression? Patients with mild postpartum depression often experience many symptoms, such as headaches, back pain, limb pain, waist pain, etc., but the cause cannot be found in the hospital. All examinations are normal, and there is no organic lesion. Some people will also feel abdominal distension, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, stomach discomfort, panic, heart palpitations, etc. for unknown reasons. If they go to the hospital for examination, the cause of the disease cannot be found. However, the patients themselves will feel that they have a serious illness and become suspicious of the hospital's examination.

Second, patients always feel "tired of living": some patients suffer from mild depression. In the early stages of the illness, these patients will feel very low, bored, unhappy, and feel that life is too tiring. Although this emotion also occurs in normal people, it is only short-lived. Patients with depression will feel bad and their life is heavy for a long time. Some patients will not respond to something that is worth being happy about, but will fly into a rage if others have the slightest objection to something they think is right. They get angry easily and always feel that there are many things that are not going well in their lives.

Third, feeling that life is "meaningless": Some patients with mild postpartum depression often feel that there is no interest in life, sigh all day long, or feel "wronged", and cry at every turn. In severe cases, they may even have repeated suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Some patients will have a mild sense of "worthlessness", thinking that they have not made any contribution to society, family, relatives and friends, and feel "useless". They have no confidence in themselves and in life, hate to participate in group activities, and prefer to be alone.

What are the symptoms of mild postpartum depression? Similar to neurasthenia: persistent insomnia and early awakening, forgetfulness, fatigue, headaches, etc. in the early stages. These patients are often diagnosed with "neurasthenia." In addition, patients may also experience a variety of uncomfortable feelings, such as inexplicable feelings of emptiness, fear, loneliness, and compulsion.
