Hello doctor. I gave birth 6 months ago. From the time I was pregnant and gave birth to a child until now, I always have negative thoughts, sometimes I can't control myself, headaches, fatigue. I used to go to the doctor and take medicine prescribed by the hospital, which is a sedative and a blood-stimulating drug to nourish the brain, but it still doesn't help. The doctor asked me what was wrong with me? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me.

Hello My Trang! With the symptoms described, it is likely that you have postpartum depression. But to be sure, you should go to a neurologist hospital to be examined by doctors to rule out physical diseases. And if excluded, it will be more appropriate to give advice and medication to nursing mothers, so as not to affect the nursing baby.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
