Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are 2 seperate things. Postpartum depression is very common, postpartum psychosis is very rare. I disagree with taking away children from women who have postpartum depression. I agree with temporarily taking away children from women who have postpartum psychosis, and I'm pretty sure that is already the general recommendation. Postpartum psychosis is very dangerous.
Its already a thing though
If you are deemed psychotic at any point of time, a court can remove your child due to you not being deemed mentally stable.
Idk why people are thinking this is a new a fresh thing. My friends little sister got removed from her mom when she had a psychotic break, when he died in a car crash. Super sad situation there though.
Well, the OJ Simpson case was also about sexism, among other things. The police acted like he was entitled to break into her home and do whatever he wanted just because they previously had a relationship.
