Mothers day 2025: Motherhood is a symbol of selfless love. Mothers quietly sacrificed their needs of nutrition and care for their families. Mothers often do not relax because they manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously and work without remembering a beet, showing unbreakable dedication.
For every problem, the word ‘mom’ is the first thing that comes to mind, because she feels that she is looking for all the answers to your problems, whether she is looking for your lost sock couple or the biggest storms, brakes or failures of life.
But at the end of the day, we forget that our mother is also human. They are expected to always be available with skills to solve their problem and fulfill daily responsibilities, so that their own needs, passions and desires are ignored.
On May 11, Mother’s Day, it is important to realize that your mother is also more than just a mother that she is a woman with her needs. With the pressure of their families to be available on bakes and calls, their mental health takes a hit.

In an interview with HT lifestyle, Dr. Tonmoy Sharma, Psychiatrist, Founder and CEO of Merlinhealth, shared the importance of mental health in mothers.
He said, “Whether the management of a demanding career, full -time care of children, or taking it alone, carrying emotional and mental load mothers can feel endless. The crime of correcting them, the guilt of being correct, the guilt when not enough, and the burnouts that come from continuously gives the common feelings, but they do not have the mental health of a mother, but also the mental health of a mother.
He further shared a guide on mental health care for various types of mothers.
Here is the guide Dr. Tonamoy shared:
Working mothers
- For mothers who balance both work and home responsibilities, life can feel like walking tightly. They are hoping to show up completely at work and then at home emotionally.
- Determine clear boundaries. Do not allow working at home at home. Tell your colleague about the boundaries. Without strong boundaries, creep burnouts quietly. It is important to create a clear line between work and personal time.
- Honoring those boundaries and mentally ‘unplugging’ after work hours can create a significant difference. Just help you keep your phone silent for some time when you are with family.
- Even a few minutes a day can be grounding for a quiet reflection or comfort. Any kind of self-care is also useful.
- Ask your partner for help, as the parenting is a common responsibility. It reduces mental load after work. Responsibilities can be divided, whether by dividing home works or taking care of the child.
Mothers living at home
- Primary carers, often home -living mothers, cannot withstand the same external demands, but carry an internal weight that is just as heavy.
- The ongoing emotional availability, especially without relief, can result in quiet burnouts.
- Re -seeing individual interests or creative outlets gives identity beyond care. Make me a ‘time’ for yourself to read, garden or attach to your hobby. Make a private place for yourself at home, such as reading nook or yoga corner.
- Simple daily practices like deep breathing or jernling to help navigate emotional high and climb.
- Create a routine to avoid being overwhelmed by all responsibilities at home.
- When you get caught in domestic responsibilities, you get isolated. It is important to have a support system. Every time at a time, go out with friends or family for change of scenes. You can also connect with other migration homes who will be able to understand and support you.
Single mothers
- Single mothers face a particularly challenging path. Parenting, work, money, and their own emotional health is a challenging task and should be honored.
- Creating a support structure, no matter how small it is, can make the task lighter.
- Simple confirmation and reminders can provide emotional assistance to themselves on difficult days.
- To accept that perfection is not realistic and “good enough” is often sufficient that helps to give up unnecessary pressure. Determine realistic expectations and focus on small victory to get through challenging periods.
Dr. Sharma concluded, “Despite his unique circumstances, all mothers need to remember that their emotional good is not secondary. It is central for the ability to nourish and support others. It is only 10 minutes alone each day alone, saying that there is” no “, no one, when no one gives or supports, he feels very good.
Similarly, SOS Children’s Village CEO Sumanta Kar, bringing in his expertise, intensive influence mothers highlighted the very spinal cord of society when nourishing both individuals and communities. He said, “Mothers are the first architects of a child’s values, flexibility, and dreams, which lay the foundation for strong communities and a more kind society. In cultures, they not only nourish families, but also nurture the entire generations, through everyday works of care, guidance and firmness.
