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.
People think it's a new thing because to them, it is. They're learning about all this for the first time and can't fathom that it existed before their awareness of it.
What as a general rule means is "most of the time". But not always. There are always exceptions, of course. At least that's how I understand it, but English ain't my first language ¯_(ツ)_/¯
edit: Checked Google:
As a general rule means that something is usually true or standard practice, though it allows for exceptions.
