Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Pregnancy is a harbinger of life. It is a phase of life where a new life is stemming from a mother’s womb. This journey is full of surprises and ups and downs but nonetheless it is filled with hope, dreams and happiness for an offspring that will be known as your “child”. For some mothers this journey brings its own set of struggles and hardships. One of that being the postpartum depression and an extreme version called Psychosis. Sometimes, even in early pregnancy the bouts of sadness become so intense that the mother to be is full of guilt and feels overwhelmed to the point of causing harm to herself. Many women in the world suffer from perinatal and postpartum depression. The world needs to engage in more research on ways to protect the mental health of a new mom. The policy to devise methods and ways to ensure there is enough support for new moms is not a new area of interest but there is no new approach to the same old problems. This article explores the history of postpartum depression and how it became a matter of policy. The legislation and more means needed to bring relief to mothers who do not have a support network are indeed needed.
