Scotland, Nov 30: Soon after giving birth to a baby the young mothers feel lot more depressed as they consider that they are losing their financial independence, work status and freedom a latest research has revealed. A conference in this regard will be held in Falkirk.

According to Dr Cynthia Mc Vey and Melanie Clarke of Glasgow Caledonian University the stress of modern lifestyle is the reason behind the increasing rate of postnatal depression among women who have a stern belief that they have all the qualities. Both the researchers had interviewed several new mothers who are having the symptoms of such postnatal depression and they also expressed the emotion of being lost. The improbable prospect about childbirth and parenthood are considered as the prime reason behind the decline in their positive approach.

“You have to be ready for the compromises linked with the child birth those compromises includes your freedom, your financial stability and lot more. Giving birth to a child is not at all considered as a loss. All the women should face this in a positive mode so as to escape from the clutches of the postnatal depression,” opined Mrs Clarke.

The research shed light on to the fact that the new mothers are lot more worried to accept this social reality. The postnatal depression is regarded as mournful process.

“There is a lot of chatter about getting back to the normal life. When the transition from a daughter, sister, and companion to a mother it is something irretrievable,” said Belinda Phipps a spokeswoman for the National Childbirth Trust.

Mass awareness about the value of motherhood and proper counselling to those mothers stricken by the postnatal depression will help in bringing permanent solution to the issue.
