Siheung Forest Mental Health Clinic in Siheung City: A Peaceful Experience

I thought things would get better after giving birth, but my depression and lethargy worsened, so I ended up seeing a psychiatrist. It was my first visit, so I was nervous, but the overall calm and calming atmosphere from the reception to the consultation room put my mind at ease. Most importantly, the doctor listened to me without interrupting, which made me think, "Ah, everything's okay here."
During the consultation, she asked me very specifically about my postpartum emotional changes, sleep patterns, parenting stress, and family relationships. Rather than simply labeling me with postpartum depression, she calmly explained what stage I was in and why I was feeling these emotions, which helped me understand better. She deemed it necessary, so we decided to combine psychological evaluation and medication. She also advised me to start with the lowest dose possible, taking into account my breastfeeding plans, which gave me confidence.
Treatment consisted of weekly counseling sessions and a small prescription for antidepressants. I had some apprehension about the medication, but the honest explanation of possible side effects and the recovery process put me at ease. I experienced no major side effects, and after about two or three weeks, I felt my mood, which had been inexplicably low, gradually stabilize. It was especially comforting that the counselor told me my feelings weren't "strange" but rather "a perfectly acceptable reaction to the current situation."
What I felt was better about this hospital than others was that they didn't just try to get patients better quickly, but rather worked with them to coordinate their recovery. They didn't rush diagnoses or increase medications, but adjusted them based on their condition, which made it less stressful. If you're struggling with emotional issues after giving birth, I urge you to seek counseling instead of struggling alone.
There was no pain at all, and my mood swings started to subside after 2-3 weeks of taking the medication.
It was the first time I realized how important it is to receive mental treatment.
