@VivianGaiko @KendyNjeru @PasquelineNjau @MummyTales @MumsVillage @Wanjiku_JoyceM @MOHmentalhealth A1 Dads too are at risk of a mental illness when their spouse/partner is pregnant or has given birth within the year. Though rare, 1 in 10 dads suffer a perinatal mood disorder.
They too need support and care.

Setting aside time for yourself and spending sometime away from the baby doesn't mean you are a bad mum. Don't feel guilty when having your 'you time'. :) What baby needs is a healthy mum.

@VivianGaiko @PasquelineNjau @CotdKE A6.
1. Take some quality time away from baby. Do what you love doing eg. Taking walks, reading etc
2. Talk about what your going through to friends you trust
3. Always reassure yourself. You are doing a good job mum.
4. Ask for help or Support

@VivianGaiko @KendyNjeru @CotdKE A5: One can seek help from a counsellor or a psychologist. If counselling therapy does not help, then one can be referred to a psychiatrist for medication.

Asking for help is sometimes hard but it is not a sign of weakness.
Accepting help offered is also good for the recovery process.

@VivianGaiko @KendyNjeru Symptoms of Postpartum anxiety include: fear that interrupts thoughts and interferes with daily tasks, outbursts of extreme fear and panic that are overwhelming and difficult to bring under control, constantly feeling irritable, restless and finding it difficult to relax.
Q3. Who is at risk of these maternal mental illnesses? What are the risk factors?

This is a staggering statistic! It may be even higher for women experiencing some form of violence or poverty and even the recent #covid19 pandemic may exacerbate some of the symptoms.
