Life is like ups and down, there is happiness as well as sadnesses.  If you are facing problems, have financial issues, have family trouble, have social pressures, dear this is what life is.  Try to live in a current situation, because you can give best of you and you have situations in your hand.

Postpartum Depression| untold anxiety

Postpartum depression



Depression is a mental disorder we have discussed about many times. Postpartum depression is something that has not been discussed and people may not aware about it's symptoms, severity and criticalness. 

The depression prior to giving birth. Usually we don't talk about it because we don't take it as serious condition. Women who suffer from postpartum depression really don't know what's going on with them and why?. 

I have recently explore, when I go through this condition that postpartum depression needs treatment, family support and understanding.

 Any woman regardless of age, ethnicity, race and culture may go through from this mood disorder or symptoms. 

Baby means everything for a mother but on the other side responsibility, constant worry about the baby, 24/7 care of baby becomes the part of mother. 


This is a condition of overwhelm anxiety, felling is sadness and tendency to isolate.

 Mother's couldn't relax and sleep properly leading to more health and mental issues.

Sometime people say alot of stuff that disturb a woman like you are not slim anymore, you look so tired all the time, your room is a mess, why your baby cry so much, you don't care about your body, hygiene, beauty, etc. Family members, friends may not realize the mental toughness of a mother.

All she need is words full of motivation, positivity and support.

These symptoms fade away with the passage of time and also when woman start her normal routine activities.

If the symptoms become severe and one can't hold it anymore, please seek counseling or visit a psychologist.

Regular sessions with the counselor will help the mother or client. Treatment plan for the client will be based on medication, psychological treatment and social support. It is important for those who learn and understand different psychological conditions , they should create awareness among others about the psychological condition.

Parenting styles | children behavior

 In shaping and molding the behavior of a child parents play an important role. Parents are responsible for giving a child better environment, teaching appropriate language,and building positive approach in a child. Child learn simply by observing  the environment around him.  In psychology we usually talk about parenting styles and it's impact on child's personality and behavior. Here are four types of parenting styles including authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and neglected. As their name shows the nature of parenting styles. Authoritative parents set rules, and they use consequences, but they also take their children’s opinions into account. They understand their children’s feelings while also making it clear that the adults are ultimately in charge.

IQ versus learning ability

 As a psychologist and professionalist, I have seen that people talk about IQ means intelligent quotient and assess their IQ by taking a test which is not developed according to our culture and our country.

Not only try and error method there several ways to measure and observe or assess the learning ability of a client. In trial and error method with the number of trial the response of the correct answers increases. And it showed the ability of a client to learn and retain the new things. But if the graph of the correct responses with the number of trials is not increased but show some deterioration then there is need to be checked the client properly and his learning abilities.  ..
