Postpartum depression is generally a symptom of depression that occurs within four weeks after childbirth. The symptoms of postpartum depression are basically the same as those of depression, such as depressed mood, decreased interest, and physical weakness.　　One of the main reasons for this is that the mother herself may have had some emotional problems before she became pregnant or even before she gave birth, but she did not recognize them and did not intervene. In addition, because of the postpartum period, her hormone levels change and lead to a sudden outbreak of these symptoms, which is a physiological reason.　　Another is the social reason, her role is upgraded from a simple woman to a mother, and she has to take a lot of responsibility to take care of the baby. Or for many mothers, she actually has a maladjustment, she can not adapt to such a role of a mother.　　It is the combination of many reasons, physical and psychological, that can lead to postpartum depression. Some mothers may feel that they can’t take care of their children, and they may have serious self-blame, which is a very common symptom of postpartum depression.
