Postpartum Irritability / Rage

Postpartum rage and irritability are often overlooked aspects of the emotional challenges new parents face, manifesting as intense feelings of anger, frustration, and overwhelm.

These emotions can arise from the stress of adjusting to parenthood, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes, leading to outbursts that may feel uncharacteristic and alarming.

It’s crucial to recognize that experiencing these feelings is not uncommon, but they can be distressing and impact your relationships and overall well-being.

Seeking help from a psychologist is essential in addressing postpartum rage, as they can provide a safe space to explore the underlying causes of your emotions, teach effective coping strategies, and help you develop healthier communication skills.

With professional support, you can work towards understanding and managing these feelings, ultimately fostering a more positive environment for yourself and your family.
