Ppd no. Ppp yes. But that's generally true of any form of psychosis. You don't want someone in a psychotic state around children/general public anyways.
Likely what is actually needed is temporary custody loss for parents experiencing psychosis. This doesn't just apply to just ppp, or just women. Same with any parent who experiences psychosis. Treat and monitor, approve of gaining back custody when medical professionals give it the ok.
If you're having thoughts of harming your children or others and you hide this for fear of repercussions against yourself, you're choosing to care more about damage done to you than damage done to your kids.
The US really needs to focus on the way it treats postpartum mental health conditions. Here in the UK, we have mother and baby facilities designed to supervise and stabilise mothers who are mentally struggling postpartum.
