What causes to be emotional after giving birth?
human
I get angry so easily since my son was born. Just the sound of hearing him cry makes me cringe and I've even hurt him out of a uncontrollable rage. Sometimes I'm perfectly fine even if he's screaming his head off but other times I tense up and just squeeze his arms and jerk him around. I haven't seriously hurt him, just some bruises. I don't understand what's wrong. It's not postpartum because it's been a year. I've always been really emotional and have had major mood swings but the birth of my son has made them worse.

HII think, you may have postpartum depression and anxiety could be the part of depressive disorder. In that case, you need to take antidepressant like escitalopram or paroxetine to control such symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for further management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
