Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 35-year-old female. I am going to be a new mother soon. Could you provide an overview of what postpartum depression is and the common symptoms associated with it? Does postpartum depression affect the mother-infant bonding process, and are there strategies to have a better relationship despite the challenges? What self-care practices can be followed?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below to overcome postpartum depression.
1. You should exercise daily.
2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily.
3. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk food.
4. You must drink enough water.
5. You should spend quality time with friends and family.
6. You should spend time on creative hobbies.
7. You should get seven to eight hours of sleep daily.
8. You must avoid tobacco, alcohol, or any substance abuse.
I hope that you get your answer.
Thanks and regards.
