【動畫】呢三個字,做人阿媽必須知!
大家在facebook上應該經常看到明星媽媽生完孩子後依然明豔照人,又或者有朋友初為人母,常分享幸福滿瀉的情境,彷彿做媽媽是一件百份百美好的事情。但如果人人也一味歌頌母愛完美無瑕,只著墨於母親們無敵的一面,原來有機會壓毀一個家庭。
你或者會想起「產後抑鬱」,但我們今天想談的是更普遍的情況,甚至是每個媽媽也可能經歷過。
精神病學家Alexandra Sacks研究女性產前後的精神健康超過十年,她發現有為數不少的女性成為媽媽後,也不一定快樂,反而會感到困惑。這種困惑源自她們覺得生完BB應該會令自己感到快樂同完整,但不知為何自己卻覺得很辛苦,甚至不知自己是誰;又或者她們覺得母性使然,自己應該會懂得照顧BB,但實際上對著BB根本不知所措。她們會覺得自己不正常,甚至相信自己患有產後抑鬱。但臨床診斷卻往往發現她們根本沒有病。
到底這些媽媽怎麼了?Sacks努力尋找答案,最後人類學家Dana Raphael在 70年代的一篇文獻,為她解開了疑團。
