Patient's question:
My wife has been a mother for 7 months since giving birth, but recently she has been in a very bad mood. She sees nothing in a good light. It must be tiring taking care of the baby, but I can hire a nanny or ask my parents to help, but she doesn't trust them. Well, she only trusts herself, so she will take care of the baby herself. She gets angry when she is tired. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your wife has been taking care of the child alone for seven months after giving birth, which has indeed been very tiring. Recently, she has been in a bad mood and sees nothing in a good light. She also doesn't fully trust the nanny or her parents to help with childcare, which might suggest she is experiencing some symptoms of depression. Her emotions are not being properly expressed, so she vents them through anger. This is not good for either her or the child. You can take more time off work to spend with your wife, help her with childcare, and chat with her. You can also take her to see a psychologist for emotional counseling to help her adjust her mood. Your support and encouragement are very important to her.
