document.write('MomLogic points us to a sad story from the Daily Mail. Katy Isden, a British woman who lived in New York City, committed suicide last year. The police report says that she depressed because she was having difficulty breastfeeding her child.Before I say anything, this is a terribly sad story. It&#39;s awful that Ms. Isden felt so horrible that she ended her life.The only thing wrong about that last statement is that I really don&#39;t know why she killed herself. I realize that the report says it was because she had trouble breastfeeding. By framing the issue this way, doesn&#39;t that help to create more pressure for women? Not only is there pressure from &quot;nipple-nazis&quot;, but there&#39;s pressure to not feel pressured.Why not call it post-partum depression? I interviewed Lisa Rinn...');

document.write('Unless you&#39;re Tom Cruise, you probably have some sense that postpartum depression is very real and moms could use a heck of a lot more support.&nbsp;A bill winding its way through both houses of Congress could finally make postpartum depression awareness a priority in the country, along with making it easier for mothers to apply for and access treatment.&nbsp;The Melanie Blocker Stokes Act, named for a new mother who took her life eight years ago, was introduced in the House of Representatives last year but floundered. Now it&#39;s back, with bills reintroduced in the House AND the Senate in 2009. According to a group stumping for supporters who will write to their Congressman begging for passage, the act &quot;would mandate research on the benefits of screening for PPD, and it would ...');

document.write('?I call childbirth my very own Vietnam. You weren?t there, maaaan.? So writes a playful Jezebel reader. But the study that she?s responding to is no joke: the Wall Street Journal reports that 9 percent of women suffer from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) caused by childbirth. While I am all for airing any form of emotional trauma so that the sufferers can be treated and healed, I am partly sympathetic to Jezebel?s skeptical take on this new study by Childbirth Connection (a nonprofit organization). Something about applying the term PTSD to childbirth irks me. Post traumatic stress disorder is most commonly associated with war veterans and victims of extreme violence; applying it to new mothers makes maternity seem like a pathology. Plus, Jezebel writer Jessica points out that the ...');
