Voice 4: "Postpartum depression¹ is not a mother's problem; it's a family problem."

声音4：“产后抑郁症不是母亲的问题；而是家庭问题。”

Voice 1: Postpartum depression is a real sickness. And there are ways to treat it. No parent should suffer alone under the pressure of postpartum depression. Doctor Lusskin says:

声音1：产后抑郁症是一种真正的疾病。有很多方法可以治疗。任何父母都不应独自承受产后抑郁症的压力。拉斯金医生说：

Voice 4: "Mothers and fathers do not get depressed² because they are bad parents... Depression is a medical condition, not a moral³ condition. If you feel that your mood is not what it should be after the birth of a child, or if you feel your wife or husband's mood is not normal, seek help, and seek help early. The sooner you get treated, the better - and the fewer consequences for the mother, the father, and the child... And treatment should involve both parents - not just the one who seems to be depressed."

声音4：“父母不会因为他们是糟糕的父母而抑郁……抑郁症是一种医学状况，而不是道德状况。如果你感觉孩子出生后你的情绪不正常，或者你觉得你妻子或丈夫的情绪不正常，那就要寻求帮助，尽早寻求帮助。你越早得到治疗，效果越好——对母亲、父亲和孩子的影响也越小……治疗应该包括父母双方，而不仅仅是看起来抑郁的一方。”
