Pregnant with the baby, quietly make a beautiful mothers, for all women who are the life of a big wedding. Parental care, her husband's care, the envy of friends, everyone will think in this period women should be joyful and pleasant, even if some anxious mood, but also the performance of normal life facing big exam only. For this reason, many mothers tend to ignore a series of changes from the physical, psychological and social relationships, causing prenatal depression.
Rest assured, this is not a case
Prenatal depression is a mental illness during pregnancy, pregnant women, the most typical symptom is unable to control their emotions boredom. With respect to post-partum depression, prenatal depression is a fact easily be overlooked, but very important issue.
Dr. Li Decheng (Dominic Tak Shing Lee) is MD Chinese University of Hong Kong, the UK's Royal College of Psychiatrists Academy of Sciences. In recent years, he has been very concerned about the incidence of prenatal depression, according to his statistics, the incidence of antenatal depression has reached a staggering 10% to 20%.
From the University of Toronto, Canada Bennett (Bennette) led by Professor of the 21 studies on prenatal depression, it has invited 19,284 subjects. It was found that during early pregnancy (before 12 weeks of pregnancy) prenatal depression rate was 7.4%, the second trimester (12 to 24 weeks) occurs prenatal depression was 12.8%, while in late pregnancy (12 to 40 weeks) prenatal depression occurrence rate of 12.0%.
We find that, compared to the early pregnancy in the second trimester and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women more susceptible to prenatal depression. The average probability of the occurrence of such conditions for pregnant women is as high as 10.7%, which is definitely not a relaxing figure.
Judgment and professional standards
According to prenatal and postnatal depression Federation (PANDA: Post and Antenatal Depression Association) the criteria, if a pregnant woman two weeks there have been the following symptoms, and affect social function, then she may be suffering from prenatal depression. Of course, what really pregnant women suffering from prenatal depression, must not simply symptoms alone to judge, we still need to consult a professional psychiatrist before the following conclusion.
Understand, heal start
Once, according to a large number of psychologists, clinical studies suggest that in pregnancy, several kinds of hormones the female body will be huge fluctuations, hormonal changes can lead to emotional ups and downs mothers, thereby affecting the brain neurotransmitters regulate mood activities, giving rise to prenatal depression. However, in recent years more and more facts have proven, family and social relationships and depression affect the alignment of the mother seem larger.
So, what reason will make mothers more vulnerable to prenatal depression it?
1. history of depression
If a pregnant woman has a family history of depression, or depression is itself once, then she would be more likely to suffer from prenatal depression.
2. Age
Age and antenatal depression has a significant correlation. Pregnant women younger than 21 years of age or above 35 years of age are more likely to prenatal or postnatal depression. Age is too small for pregnant women prenatal depression, is that they become mothers for childbirth and emotional instability caused. And it is because of advanced maternal age on pregnancy and possible complications relatively familiar, fear of pregnancy elderly will bring many adverse consequences, resulting in enormous psychological pressure.
3. Psychological Factors
East Carolina State University (East CarolinaUniversity) Professor Elizabeth Jesse (? D.Elizabeth Jes se), who proved through research: personality and psychological factors, especially traumatic experiences will impact on prenatal and postnatal depression. Where self-esteem is in the study of depression in a key psychological variables, individual perception of self-worth, for pregnancy and postpartum psychological problems have a significant impact.
4. Social Support
Social support for the control of prenatal depression occurs plays an important role. In simple terms, the more support from the community, the smaller the probability of occurrence of prenatal depression. In the social support, the most important companion, pregnancy and early postpartum caregivers support and relationship with his mother. A survey shows that marital satisfaction is low, the lack of support for her husband's pregnant easily develop prenatal depression.
5. unwanted pregnancies
An important reason for the timing of pregnancy is caused by maternal psychological problems. If the woman does not think the pregnancy within their own plans, or do not want to be pregnant, then these conditions can cause depressive symptoms.
6. experiencing infertility or miscarriage
If the woman has experienced a period of time it can not be the case of birth, or before this pregnancy had a miscarriage, childbirth experience, then pregnant women may worry that this pregnancy safety.
7. stressful life events
Zuckerman (Zuckerman) professors from Boston University (Boston Univer? Sity) believe that stressful life events in the year before pregnancy will affect prenatal or postnatal depression occurs. Any major life change will lead to pregnant women to produce depression, for example, in order to meet the child's birth and moving, divorce, unemployment or the death of loved ones at home and so on. Pregnancy itself is an easy life events cause stress, pregnant women need to face all kinds of life from the body and changes in social roles.
Of course, there are other factors also affect the probability of occurrence of prenatal depression. Although many factors can cause prenatal depression, but if we can understand the etiology of early prenatal depression, can be avoided in advance. If the woman is really unfortunate got prenatal depression, so a simple understanding of the relevant knowledge will also help patients and their families to identify risk factors and early intervention, or receive professional treatment.
Attention, this is not trivial
Women after pregnancy, hormonal changes will continue until after the placenta off, the hormone regulating glands, pregnant women for the next production, delivery and breastfeeding ready. Change these hormones, mothers will experience huge emotional change. In the early and late pregnancy, pregnant women may be more irritable, emotional and anxiety, and emotional problems caused by them due to pregnancy itself, sometimes with prenatal depression performance is quite similar, but for prenatal depressive mothers harm caused clearly more severe.
1. prenatal depression is postpartum depression "Sirens"
More and more evidence suggests that there is some correlation between prenatal depression and postpartum depression, the more severe symptoms of depression during pregnancy, the incidence of postpartum depression is higher. Research shows that 25% of pregnant women at high risk of depression that is postpartum depression occurs in the first year.
2. For the adverse effects of prenatal depression caused by maternal and child health
Another important reason for prenatal depression is getting attention, poor mental health of pregnant women during pregnancy have a healthy development of the fetus and newborn adversely affected. Depression during pregnancy will not only affect the health of pregnant women, resulting in anorexia, smoking, drug or alcohol abuse, etc., but also increase the risk of pregnancy complications and further damage to maternal and child health, and maternal and child social relations cognitive, behavioral development have an adverse effect.
University of Saskatchewan, Canada Angela Bowen (Angela Bowen) Dr. maternal mental health has been committed to research. She believes that prenatal depression may lead to antepartum hemorrhage, premature birth, and many other problems, and even cause neonatal low activity, poor imitation. Prenatal depression on maternal and child health hazards caused by all of us deserve attention.
Do not worry, we have the means
Nurture life is a very great thing to go through this process is bound to bear a lot of pressure and change, some anxiety is perfectly normal, is understandable. Although prenatal depression of harm should not be underestimated, but moms do not have to worry too much about. In fact, prenatal depression, not everyone thought so terrible, as long as the pregnant woman can reasonably regulate mood, properly deal with stress, self-confidence to accept the change, then joyfully through pregnancy is not difficult. You must believe that he can be a good mother!
