Hmmm… How do cultural expectations and societal pressures contribute to emotional distress in new moms in Africa, and what can be done to provide them with better support and resources?
Here is my two cents: Cultural expectations and societal pressures in Africa can lead to emotional distress in new moms by placing unrealistic standards on motherhood, such as being the sole caregiver and managing household responsibilities. Lack of support systems and resources exacerbates the situation. To provide better support, there should be improved access to affordable healthcare, mental health services, parental education, and community programs that debunk harmful myths and encourage open discussions about postpartum experiences.
