786: Psychological Impact

Psychological Impact

From your description, your wife does have certain postpartum depression symptoms. However, she should still be in a relatively mild state. Since you discovered it so early, it means that your relationship with your wife should be very good. This is also a good thing. The earlier you discover it, the sooner it can be controlled. If it's really delayed, it might become even more serious and difficult to treat."0

Huo Chenhuan was not comforted by his words at all. He frowned and said, "Her emotions have been fluctuating a little recently. Is it also because of this?"

"Yes. Many people only know that pregnant women have high emotional fluctuations during pregnancy and can't be controlled. Actually, this period after giving birth is the most difficult period for pregnant women. During this period, they are under a lot of psychological pressure. It's difficult to control their emotions due to anxiety. They will also be relatively sensitive in all aspects and are extremely susceptible to external influences."

Huo Chenhuan was silent for a moment before asking in a deep voice, "External influences? What external influences can cause this situation?"

"There are a lot of factors that can cause postpartum depression in pregnant women. The more common ones are family couples and even in-laws who don't get along."

The couple had always had a good relationship, and there was no mother and daughter-in-law conflict. This reason was obviously not valid.

"It's also possible that it's too stressful to raise a baby. The baby is either making a fuss or the mother doesn't know how to feed or care for the baby."

The baby had the servants at home and Roly Poly to help take care of him. He would also help keep an eye on Little Star in his free time. He rarely let Su Yayan tire herself out because of this. That was probably not the reason.

"Then there's the fact that a lot of pregnant women's bodies change after they're pregnant. The growth of the fetus makes them out of shape. Even when the baby's born, the changed body can't return to its original shape all at once, and that puts a certain amount of pressure on them."

Huo Chenhuan was stunned. He suddenly remembered that on the first night they returned home, Su Yayan seemed to have pinched her chubby stomach and asked him if she was ugly.

"It's also possible that she hasn't fully adapted to the change in identity."

"A change of identity?"

"Yes. Young Madam is young and in the prime of a girl's youth and beauty. Even when she married and became your wife, she must still feel the same as before. But now that she has a child, it means that she has gone from a wife to a mother of a child. From this moment on, she can no longer take charge of everything and do whatever she wants."

"Let me give you a simple example. Before you got married, you and Young Madam could go out anytime, anywhere, shopping, watching a movie, or even traveling. But after you had a baby, Young Madam would subconsciously think of the baby no matter what she does. Even when she went out shopping or watching a movie, she would wonder how the baby at home was doing. Did he eat and sleep well? Did he cry? Not to mention traveling. It was almost impossible in the short term."

"Such a sudden change of identity would have a certain psychological impact on Young Madam. It would also affect her psychologically."

If not for the doctor's analysis, Huo Chenhuan would never have thought that there were so many twists and turns behind Su Yayan's intense reaction to Ling Xiaoqi's casual words.

"If it's the latter two, how can it be treated?"

"From Young Madam's current situation, such emotions are not particularly serious. You can skip the medicine first. The key point is you. During this period, you have to spend as much time with Young Madam as possible to reduce her pressure. Find something to divert her attention appropriately and not let her think too much…"
