Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields are currently engaging in a word war against each other because of a type of depression, called postpartum depression. Cruise’s and Brooke’s debacle started when Tom Cruise openly disapproved of Brooke Shield’s personal choice of opting to take prescribed medicines to cure her postpartum depression when he guested on the Today Show. According to Cruise, who is a popular devotee of Scientology (who believes that we can be cured through natural means and that taking medicine is doing our body harm), Brooke Shields should have instead, opted to cure her postpartum depression by doing healthy exercises. Adding that a lot of people have been misinformed about depression and how to cure this common illness.
But what is postpartum depression? We’ve heard about it often enough, yet are we sure that we know enough about it for us to understand this illness for us to help ourselves as well as others? Being pregnant should be a source of joy for everyone, especially the mother-to-be, who for nine months, will have a living growing from inside of her. Unfortunately, there is another side to this joyous occasion, being pregnant means that you and your body will have to get used to some adjustments for you to have a safe pregnancy. Smoking, alcohol, strenuous activities as well as stress should be avoided at all costs. A healthy baby means having a healthy mother as well. But given that you have been able to successfully avoid all these bad habits for your baby, childbirth is a whole different thing, as much as we may try to avoid it, there are still some unfortunate cases wherein the mother as well as the baby’s life might be in danger.
But there’s more, postpartum depression happens after childbirth. Although it’s quite common and a lot of women have learned how to deal with it as well as successfully treat it (like Brooke Shields), it is still quite avoidable. Postpartum depression is a lot like depression, but only new moms are the possible victims of this illness. There are a lot of possible reasons why postpartum depression occurs:
Childbirth as we all know is not as easy as pie, actual physical stress from giving birth is one of the main reasons why postpartum depression occurs. Next postpartum depression triggers massive changes in hormonal levels. A lot of moms-to-be who were hesitant about bearing a child are also more susceptible to postpartum depression, those who are not ready to be a mother yet are more easily depressed as opposed to happy and excited moms-to-be.
When postpartum depression happens, it is best to go to the doctor immediately. Aside from obviously having ill effects on the new mother, postpartum depression can prove to be harmful to the child as well. New mothers who are suffering from postpartum depression may be harboring ill feelings toward their children. There are some cases of murder wherein postpartum depression has been cited as the reason. Mothers who suffer from postpartum depression may blame their children for their weight gain, thus feeling like they’ve become less attractive and unloved. It is best to consult a reputable cognitive behavior therapist to take care of your postpartum woes, your therapist may prescribe medications to help cure postpartum depression as well as therapy sessions to help relieve whatever pent emotions that you may have.
