英文早点丨 0514 - 新妈妈们如何在精神压力中“幸存”？

患者最突出的症状是持久的情绪低落，表现为表情阴郁，无精打采、困倦、易流泪和哭泣。患者常用“郁郁寡欢”、“凄凉”、“沉闷”、“空虚”、“孤独”、“与他人好像隔了一堵墙”之类的词来描述自己的心情。患者经常感到心情压抑、郁闷，常因小事大发脾气。在很长一段时期内，多数时间情绪是低落的，即使其间有过几天或1～2周的情绪好转，但很快又陷入抑郁。尽管如此，患者抑郁程度一般并不严重，情绪反应依然存在，几句幽默解嘲的警句，能使之破涕为笑。一场轻松的谈话，能使之心情暂时好转。 所以，对老婆好点，不对，是对你老婆好点~ 同时，也为全世界的母亲点zan！！

How to survive the mental pressures of being a new mother

Research by the Co-op and the Red Cross has revealed the unhappiness experienced by new mothers. Some 82% of those under 30 reported feeling lonely some of the time, with 43% saying they often or always felt that way. Postnatal depression (PND) affects 10-15% of women and is a recognised mental health condition that can be treated.

If you notice signs of PND - such as low mood that lasts for two weeks or more, difficulty sleeping or difficulty bonding with your baby - or have thoughts of hurting yourself or others, you need professional help.
