Ah yes. The good ol’ “Well, have you tried not being depressed?” Works every time.
OP said nothing of the sort. They clearly described a dysfunction in the surrounding support structure, not the mother herself.

If you are not a researcher, or a physician, or some other expert, and if you have not given birth yourself, please don’t throw out this kind of ill-considered opinion. Post-partum depression (and anxiety for that matter) is more severe than just the effects of sleep deprivation and lack of support. Anything we can do to treat it, even partially, is worth doing.

I wonder how much of post-party depression is caused by isolation. In the past, new mothers were surrounded by a whole village of women who would help care for the woman and the baby. Many times now, women are isolated with maybe the father present. And even then there are pressures to get back to work. This isn’t to discount or minimize postpartum depression, but if we as a society set up people for failure which re…

okay all that may have happened but HIV also causes AIDS in cases where there are no party drugs and poppers the t cell count lowers until your body isnt fighting anything anymore, due to the HIV virus’ continual rapid mutations

That's why you haven't seen your goal because you have an unfalsifiable viewpoint where there is no competing information to alter your view because it is an impossible standard. AZT has bad side effects and is antiquated technology. Okay. Yes, there was a lot of hysteria in the 1980s and pharma companies aren’t held accountable for their role in that. There is also competing information that can be reproduced easily regarding HIV to immunocompromised status and opportunistic infections killing people.
I would implore you to look at the things that are substantiated. In the 21st century, there are now drugs that keep your t-cell count high, such as PrEP. These aren't killing people and prevents progression to immunocompromised status, it also prevents spread of HIV.
I'm sorry you'll never get to your resolution about drugs from the 1980s, but there is nothing to build upon with that information and you’re extrapolating from a position thats been a dead end for a long time, in comparison to what we can build upon with successfully protecting t-cells.

My wife suffered from PPD after the birth of our first. She also suffered antenatal depression during her second pregnancy. SSRIs literally saved her life. The difference to her personality was profound: the woman I knew and loved came back. Was it a societal structure and support issue? No. She had support from myself, our families, family doctor, her obstetrician and a psychologist. My work provided me with paid ti…

Care to share where that sentiment comes from? Also, a bit ironic considering the recent n of 1 trial they approved for DMD. Have you heard of the oncologist that did a murder suicide on her 4 month old baby in Westchester this weekend? Not every disease has the luxury of waiting around decades for safety and efficacy fact sheets.
Examples, Aduhelm, remdesivr, accelerated approvals in general lacking follow-up studies that are supposed to be done.
Or is it a political statement now to say an agency isn't doing their job and has been captured?
