In the United States, it's almost as if we accept postpartum depression as an inevitable outcome, writes cconaboy. We drop new parents in the stream, with a promise to catch them -- if we can.
across the U.S. is outright closure of hospital maternity units and a decline in access to obstetricians, who are often the first provider a struggling new parent may go to for help.
These issues may be top of mind recently, because we pay more attention when tragedy strikes — as it did in Duxbury, Mass. where, 32, is accused of strangling her three children before she jumped from a second-floor window in an apparent suicide attempt. We’re now asking, “how did this happen?” What we do know is that, while there is an incredible web of care providers and community support groups trying to fill the gaps, the standard of mental care for so many new parents is far too little, and even approaches abject neglect.
In 2016, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended that all pregnant and postpartum people be screened for depression. The task force is a volunteer panel of physicians created by Congress to make evidence-based recommendations for preventive care, and their decisions influence what insurers are required to cover under the Affordable Care Act.
