While caring for the newborn and physical recovery of the new mother is important, it is equally critical to focus on the mental and emotional well-being of every woman post-delivery, doctors at a webinar said.
While discussing post-partum care for mothers at a webinar, which is part of The Hindu’s wellness series and presented by Kauvery Hospital to mark Mother’s Day, doctors from the hospital said the mental health of new mothers is often overlooked in Indian households, even though a majority of women face post-partum depression. Childbirth is not the end of care for a woman but the beginning of a journey that requires emotional adjustments due to hormonal changes.
