Mother’s Day: Understanding the importance of postpartum therapy

Mother’s Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May to honor
mothers and motherhood. However, this day also brings attention to the
challenges that mothers face, particularly during the postpartum period.
Postpartum therapy is an important tool for mothers who may experience
mental health issues after childbirth, such as postpartum depression or
anxiety.
Postpartum therapy can help new mothers to cope with the emotional,
physical, and psychological changes that come with having a baby. It can
also provide them with tools to manage stress, improve communication
skills, and strengthen their relationships with their partners and children.
Despite its importance, postpartum therapy remains a taboo topic in many
societies, including India. Mothers may feel ashamed or stigmatized for
seeking help, or they may not be aware that support is available. This
Mother’s Day, let us raise awareness about the importance of postpartum
therapy and encourage new mothers to seek the help they need.
