The number of new and expectant mothers in England getting specialist support for mental health problems has almost doubled in the last three years, ITV News has learned.
Data from NHS England shows more than 57,000 women received treatment in the last year, that's up a third compared to the year before.
It can feel like “the end of the world” one woman who experienced postpartum psychosis told ITV News.
We’ve been given permission to film at the Ribblemere Mother and Baby Unit in Lancashire, a psychiatric ward where women are treated with their babies.

Shutting down children's centres have contributed towards this. Lack of family support as well and rise in childcare cost. The pressure of breast feeding as well.

@thecornfieldiii2069 15 дней назад

All of these things haven't existed for most of human history, we've had them for half a century, but apparently are now falling apart without them.

@ageautistic6957 14 дней назад

@thecornfieldiii2069 Aside from the children's centres, the pressure of motherhood and its potential mental health effects were kept behind closed doors. We are only removing the taboo as of late. It sounds like you don't believe that these poor women have anything actually wrong with them? My question is... Have you ever been sectioned before yourself? It takes a lot to end up in one of those wards... like thinking you are an inca princess type of a lot.

Having a child is the most life-changing experience you can go through.. nothing at all can prepare you for it... you really need a support system as doing it alone is just impossible... the worlds changed so much... families and community would help raise children now women do it completely alone we're an isolationist society.. and the father if he's around has to work so women are alone.... this is the route of it believe me

5-10% of women can experience post partum thyroiditis in the first six months following childbirth, yet it is NOT routinely tested. Initially the thyroid may be overactive and if not detected the thyroid may become damaged and then become underactive for life. Amongst other problems it can affect the mother's ability to produce milk and breastfeed. Symptoms can be mistaken for "baby blues", but can seriously affect a new mother's ability to cope due to difficulty in concentration, tiredness, anxiety, insomnia amongst other symptoms.

You do understand that's exactly what our controllers want? For western women to stop having children. And oh look....childbirth is falling drastically among the west! Children and families throughout history have been born in far worse societies than now. But it was a priority. Let me tell you as a woman. I'm 45, and I had exactly the same opinion. And now, I realise its one of the worst mistakes I ever made. When you hit your 40s and you re sitting in your home, on your own...on your phone. Sure, see friends occasionally, play out life...but most women's intrinsic reason for being here...is to give birth to children. Whether you believe that or not. Why do you think so many women with the same opinion decide in their 40s to adopt. Because they realise the importance of bearing children. Not just for themselves and their communities....but humanity.

@yasink331 14 дней назад

@susanplatt5331 14 дней назад

Birthrates are dropping worldwide. Because of the state of the world, patriarchy and the way a lot of men and society devalue women and mothers. China has gone from forcing people to stop at two children, to forcing women to have children, apparently.

@marthasubba3083 14 дней назад

Sad things happening, I would suggest proper diet plan and continue physical exercises may help. In my culure usually as soon as you give birth you go to your parents home and stay there at least 1 to 2 months, some stays even 6 month and family will take care of your food and massaging with oil to new mum body and baby like that. Nowadays we do not see often because of our lifestyle. As I am Christain, the faith gave me courage and support in my tough times.

@mummylove5 15 дней назад

For the last 30 years pregnant women and new mums and those supporting them have been encouraged to be aware of their mental health and to look for the sighns of post natal depression and quite rightly too . Women are recognising symptoms and are seeking help .poor maternity mental health is being driven by the cost of living crisis, lack of affordable housing and child care and massively over stretched maternity care in the nhs. Midwives and health visitors are an amazing first line of support for mums ,if you dont get help at the right time things can rapidly escalate. I had my first child 30 years ago and my last 20 years ago, the difference in the levels of support between my first and last was shocking, then and i dred to think what new mums now receive. We are storing huge problems for our future if we dont sort this out now.

I think it’s just best families chip together and put their money together for a good therapist to get these mums help instead of waiting for NHS to help,I know we should be able to get these services but if they aren’t there,it’s best to just crack on and wait til it’s too late?

@am5783 15 дней назад

@@sarahwagland1559 Those are normally people within gangs, not the mentally ill. The mental health sector is severely underfunded and as someone who slipped through the cracks when I needed help, It isn't perfect. But the mentally ill ARE vulnerable. They are more likely to be victims of violence than the perpetrators. When I worked in a community mental health team, almost all of my service users were vulnerable people who just needed help and support. Of course you will get people who's mental illnesses manifest in violent ways sometimes, and there are picu wards for this. Its unfortunate there aren't more beds available within psychiatric wards when people are a danger to themselves or others, but that isn't the mentally unwell person's fault; nor should you be attempting to demonise 1 in 4 adults and 1 In 10 children.

Everyone has mental health issues. Those who work, those that don't, new mums, old mums, those not mums. The system is broken for everyone. Things are so difficult for adults. If you do not have the financial means to have kids, do not. Loads of people are stable emotionally, financially etc then you bring a child into the world its going to be worse.

@saffafreebrey1715 2 дня назад

I definitely felt like the Postpartum Psychosis episode I had last year was not just physical/medical from depletion post birth, but also an energetic attack from darker forces praying on your vulnerability. It was like being in a hyper vigilant state, and you pick up on other dimensional sensations, and others emotions. It’s overwhelming and that’s the end of the world feeling, fear and worry about the state of the world and other peoples darker intentions. It took me medical help initially, but I also needed to work myself on grounding and spiritual recovery after such a frightening and mind blowing experience. Faith in a higher good and myself. You have to stay strong as a mother but you can’t and shouldn’t do it alone.

I never knew pregnancy was this hard! I was a happy bunny 🐰 have a good paying job. Till I got more sick! All these affected my mood completely, I reduced my working hrs and begun working from home full time. Still I was struggling!! So JonsTunes be kind! Pregnancy changes a lot in women! Until you experience it please don’t judge!

@Mich6961 14 дней назад

Even if that was true (which I bet it isn't) the perception is going to be a bit distorted if even simple kinds of leasure is getting more expensive while wages stay the same. Should anyone who isn't well off just goes off to exist in an empty vacum whenever they aren't doing work or domestic labour?

@uncleAwasRight⁠very true, so they get a load of vulgar tattoos to demonstrate their freedom to the world, and dabble in promiscuous sex (probably with their boss) because only obedient women are faithful to their families. Of course, when they end up with drinking problems, wracked with anxiety, and have unruly children, it is because of the patriarchy oppressing them. Girl power!!!
