Dream - Becoming a mother is synonymous with making sacrifices. The role is so vast and often receives negative comments when the things done are not perfect. Starting from pregnancy, giving birth, to raising children, the criticisms seem endless.

Many are not aware that becoming a mother makes an individual more vulnerable to depression. This is because it is normal for mothers to do many things, especially in terms of household chores. Physical and hormonal changes, routines after having a child, not to mention economic conditions, actually place an extraordinary psychological burden on mothers.

"Not to mention the depiction of a wise mother, managing many things, with a perfect family life, sometimes causes the mother to experience anxiety. When she cannot perform her duties perfectly, she often blames herself."

According to Irma, mothers often feel trapped in high social expectations of being a perfect mother. This can potentially create additional pressure.

Irma reminds us that depression experienced by mothers should not be taken lightly, especially to the point of surrendering to the situation. This can be managed with self-awareness and treatment. "Mothers need to be reminded that they are also human beings with the right to seek support and care when needed," she said.
