Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex: A Case Report
Öz
Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) is a symptom characterized by sudden and transient panic, depression, sadness, or other negative emotions that occur just before milk let-down, last a few minutes, and resolve spontaneously. NA, who experienced distressing emotions during breastfeeding, did not experience breastfeeding difficulties but was severely affected by D-MER symptoms. Thanks to professional counseling, she was able to recognize her condition and continue breastfeeding. Awareness and knowledge of D-MER remain limited. Unlike postpartum psychological disorders, D-MER is considered a physiologically mediated condition. Breastfeeding women can develop coping mechanisms and alleviate their symptoms through lifestyle changes and mindfulness-based activities. This case will raise awareness of D-MER and provide a model for healthcare professionals to explore the emotional changes experienced by breastfeeding women. Published empirical studies on D-MER remain limited. More research is needed on D-MER theory and interventions.
