I’m in this right now, my wife has symptoms that are in a word, scary. The rug pull of hormones that happens after birth, they can turn a stable, well adjusted, incredibly good mom into someone who is afraid to hold their own baby.
We’re in 3 groups, we have a private therapist for this, and if it’s anything like last time there will be another light switch at 4-6 weeks where she is suddenly back to normal. This pill is another layer of support, and a necessary one so new moms with PPD can bond with their baby, and so their partner doesn’t have to manage a two year old full time during the day and a feeding every other hour at night.
I think your care and concern is well founded, it sounds like your heart is in the right place, but I think you should re-think this take.
