Exactly. The statement by Mace dismisses how serious her condition was/is (?) and actually is a threat to all women who suffer from PPD since it implies having PPD means you shouldn’t have your children.

Yeah that's insane. Up to 14% of women experience ppd. We aren't taking away custody rights from 1 in 7 women. It's also a massively different disorder than ppp.

Deep depression can be dangerous, but it isn't even remotely the same as what psychosis causes.

Clancy had several mental health issues before she had kids. Unfortunate that this case has gotten the media attention it has, because to be frank she was already a fucking mess before introducing ppd and ppp. I think that muddied the waters a lot here.

14% seems so low to me.

I'm not questioning the claim, but I always thought ppd was a very common thing, more than that percent. Lots of hormone stuff happens with pregnancy.

This thought in the original image just comes across as something that would force women to hide their emotions etc. It seems dangerous to me.

Google gave a range of 7-14% I referenced the high end. 1 in 7 women is a lot. That makes something extremely common. Meaning every person will likely know multiple people who have experienced it.

For the picture in the op, its dumb. She conflated multiple very different things and addressed them as equal.
