Psychosis hits 1 in 1,000 new moms, study says

Wednesday, December 6, 2006

By Mike LaSalle

Within three months after giving birth for the first time, 1 out of 1,000 women suffered from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or another psychotic condition severe enough that she was hospitalized, Danish researchers found by examining hundreds of thousands of health records.

Holy mackeral, isn’t there enough prozac in the streams and waterways already without creating the need for more.

Are they now creating the victim’s victim ?

Enough with the excuse making for women already, as if men who do terrible things have absolutley nothing wrong with them. We already have too much legislation designed to paint women as victims and men as perpetrators regardless of facts. The last thing we need is “a new bill” to solve alleged problems for women. Notice the common theme: women are suffering and they don’t even know it, or so says one “researcher” in another country. But that doesn’t stop some goofball with a “D” beside his name from introducing new legislation. Excuse me, but what about the thousands of studies that show the real plight of boys and men and fathers. They don’t need a Danish “researcher” to tell them it’s real.

A few days ago a woman up here in Canada murdered her son and killed herself by jumping off a freeway overpass. In perusing various websites here. The link to the story was on the front page and right underneath it was a link to this Danish research and then a third link about domestic violence. It has been learned over the past few days that the father (earlier painted as the possible reason) was touted as loving and compassinate by her family. As much as the media tried to infer but not actully coming out and saying it they wanted the man to be at fault. Sickening.

Right. Here we go again. The ads on these pages for the Godzilla form of PMS were not enough, now we know that child birth is a debilitating medical condition for a woman. Maybe we could just up it to 40,000 words per day that they speak and that would be a sufficient vent.

Looks like the prividge princesses can’t handle real responsibilty. Like taking care of a child and putting themselves second. Sigh…why do the have children if they can’t do that? Oh, I forgot that they can’t handle working either and the think that child support is the easy way out of working. Sorry PP’s it doesn’t work that way.

Maybe they should be looking at a way to get men to pay non-child support, that is, if a man doesn’t make them pregnant, they are entitled to payment because of that. OMG, I just gave them another way to be PP’s!

Fortunately, most of them are to lazy to read…

They are talking of 1 in a 1000. That is statistically insignificant. 0.001. Ok, it translates into quite a few people but it still means that 999 out of a 1000 cope quite well with this natural process. As psychoses of this or that sort affect 4 – 5% of people anyway, it hardly makes a blip. Just think of the number of males and females who die each year. Now that would be a large enough %age to cause a worry in comparison.

These women are a danger to their children! We need more laws to protect those that can’t protect themselves. I propose legislation that will require all mothers with newborns to pass a psych test before the hospital can release the baby. Any female diagnosed with post-partum blues will just have to wait to bond with their babies. It’s for the good of the children, best interests and all that, doncha know.
