I'd like to take a moment to talk about the Mother's act. It stands for The Moms Opportunity to Access Help, Education, Research and Support for Postpartum Depression.
The Mother's Act is legislation that would initiate new federal investment in postpartum education, detection and treatment.
A bill to ensure that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services, and to increase research at the National Institutes of Health on postpartum depression.
-----------
Postpartum depression is a serious and disabling condition that affects anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of new mothers. 1. In the United States, there may be as many as 800,000 new cases of postpartum conditions each year. 2. In New Jersey alone there are 11,000-16,000 cases of PPD each year. 3. These mothers often experience signs of depression and may lose interest in friends and family, feel overwhelming sadness or even have thoughts of harming the baby or themselves. 4. The cause of PPD isnt known but changes in hormone levels, a difficult pregnancy or birth, and a family history of depression are considered possible factors.
Specifically, the MOTHERS Act will help new moms by: Providing important education and screening on postpartum depression (PPD) that can lead to early identification and treatment. A major part of prevention is informing new mothers about the symptoms and providing them with the services that are available in their community. Thus, this legislation includes two grants to help health care providers educate, identify and treat PPD. Awards grants to States so that local health care providers (physicians, nurse midwives, and other licensed health care professionals) can educate women who have recently given birth and their families about PPD before the mothers leave the birthing center and offer the opportunity for new mothers to be screened for postpartum depression symptoms during the first year of postnatal check-up visits. Awards grants to States and local governments, public or non-profit hospitals and community based organizations for the delivery of essential services to individuals with postpartum depression and psychosis and their families, including enhanced outpatient and home-based health care, inpatient care and support services. Expanding important research to improve and discover new treatments, diagnostic tools and educational materials for providers. Since the exact cause of PPD isnt known, research continues to be the key to unlocking the mystery of this condition.
-----------------------------
This legislation incorporates a House bill, the Melanie Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care Act, which would expand and intensify research at the NIH with respect to PPD and psychosis, including increased discovery of treatments, diagnostic tools and educational materials for providers.

New Jerseys Lead on Postpartum Depression Policy The MOTHERS Act was introduced in response to a recently passed, first-of-its-kind New Jersey law requiring doctors and nurses to educate and screen expectant mothers about PPD. This state bill was introduced by State Senate President Richard Codey whose wife, Mary Jo Codey, suffered from PPD.

All the Senate wants to do is ensure that new moms are educated about PPD and have access to the services they need in addition to funding research at NIH on the issue. I don't see all pregnant women being classified as mentally ill anywhere in that. Doesn't even mention anything about forcing treatment.
In the Congressional findings, medication is mentioned only as a form of treating PPD. That's not directly encouraging new moms to take drugs

@13Heathens Fine. I'll stay on topic. Women are friggin' nutcases. They commit child abuse 4 times more than the father and kidnap children twice as much as strangers. They also don't pay child support at twice the rate of men. There ya go..On Topic..Women are crazy and should be watched. I believe in PPD..Why? Cause there is proof to back it up in stats of child abuse cases. oh yea..chemtrails are bullshit.

@SacredSocietyAP You didn't debunk anything. You just called yourself an expert and your whole family was in aviation so you know for a personal opinion chemtrails are fake. And I'm not trying to make any money from anyone so its pretty rude labeling me like that. Nor am I misleading people. Do some research. But like I stated before, this video is about psych so keep it on topic. If you wanna troll for conspiracies to throw abuse at there are plenty of other places to do it.

@13Heathens Hey I'm not the one that went off topic. He brought up the 8 month old convo. I'd prefer to stick to the psych.

@SacredSocietyAP ".. you want me to follow the topic .."
Actually, I would prefer if people do keep on topic. That goes for the two of you, Ragnarok187 included.

@Ragnarok187 LOL Oh so now that I've debunked your whole silly conspiracy you want me to follow the topic of the video. You are a joke and people LIKE YOU who purposely mislead people just to make money on YouTube are complete assholes.

@SacredSocietyAP You call yourself an expert in aviation and don't acknowledge chemtrails being used? Right, they're all contrails. Just harmless condensation. But as interesting as the aviation industry is and regardless of if chemtrails are fake or not this video relates to psych so keep it on topic. There are plenty of chemtrail vids to argue your point about that subject. But thanks for bringing up an 8 month old conversation to go on the attack. Troll.

@13Heathens Thank You! Please remember this though. Conspiracy nuts don't care if they are right or wrong. They are simply attention whores. Looking to scare people and piss of those who actually know what they are talking about. Trying to convince them they are wrong just makes them mad because they don't care. They are DRAMA QUEENS looking for a show. Meanwhile they have thousands of people scared out of their mind just for fun and attention. They are losers with NO LIFE of their own.

@Ragnarok187 I don't need to ask my parents or grandparents because 10-20 years ago I was
in the aviation business myself, just like my father and my grandfather. I was raised around aircraft
my whole life. By the way I did get an education, at the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center. All of
my friends that aren't in the music business are pilots and mechanics. You can't fool an expert DUM DUM. Try this shit on someone who DOESN'T know ANYTHING about aircraft.

@Ragnarok187 Actually, 10-20 years ago planes did leave trails that lasted for hours. It depends on the high altitude climatic conditions, naturally.. Granted I can only go back about 35 years ago, but yes, they did.
13Heathens 4 months ago
@SacredSocietyAP Yes there is a big difference between contrails and chemtrails. Contrails last for maybe 30 seconds. Chemtrails last for 2-3 hours or more. Ask your parents or grandparents if 10-20 years ago planes left huge criss-crossing white lines in the sky. Take your own advice and get an education.
