I received an email today about U.S. Senate Bill 1325 to  counseling to new mothers about post-partum depression.  On the surface, it sounds like a very good idea, but what the writer notes and it is a point well taken, is that,

“There is no  language in the bill requiring full disclosure of the drug risks to mothers  prescribed psychotropic drugs, (the most common “treatment” for mothers  diagnosed with
post partum depression), no language requiring mothers be  given options for non-harmful treatments and real medical care other than  drugs.”

Might be worth dropping your Senators a note and telling them that this is a concern.
