About the book: 2017 / With the birth of a child, many experience not only the expected happiness of parenthood, but also negative emotions - anger and despair, anxiety and disappointment, shame and guilt from one’s inadequacy, and the inability to cope with them often results in aggression. Parental burnout has become a common psychological problem. In the book, fifteen mothers and three fathers share similar experiences. Experts - psychologists, doctors and other specialists - discuss the mechanisms of burnout syndrome, its signs, forms of its manifestation - from postpartum depression to mental and physical exhaustion, and most importantly - talk about how to cope with all this. An important component of the book is the recipes and self-help practices. “Mom at Zero” will help you avoid the pitfalls that can overshadow the joy of parenthood. The book is also worth reading for those whose family or friends are experiencing emotional devastation, depression, and apathy. Once you recognize the problem, it’s easier to help yourself and your loved ones.
