This act is not about medication. This act is about screening new mothers for a very serious condition. Hospitals screen every single pregnant woman for gestational diabetes when almost ten times as many women develop a postpartum mood disorder and we don't screen any of them. This act is here only to help women who are suffering from it and to educate the caregivers to better care for them. And although medication is needed for some women suffering from postpartum mood disorders it is not for all. There are many behavioral and cognitive therapies that are widely used in the treatment of postpartum mood disorders in addtion to many alternative therapies such as acupuncture.
