There is a new bill, S. 1375 going into ‘committee’, that should be all that a new mom needs to know about post-partum depression. Cutely described as the Mom Bill; it paves the way to describe motherhood as a psychiatric condition. Yes, for reals. By doing this, Big Pharma will be able to develop all kinds of new revenue streams, that all end in Mom being medicated. You know– to combat the vile pathology of motherdom. Uh oh. The Mommy Blues just got bluer. Or darker. Something.
Hey! Aren’t those mommie pills the same ones shown to be less effective than placebos, and way more harmful?
Way to get in front of an information highway pileup, Big Pharma! I can’t help but admire a business plan that puts tried-and-failed drugs on a bigger better payment schedule, and calls it mom. Brilliant.
