PPD- Act Now!

Posted by Beth On 1:48 PM
I don't know about you guys, but I don't pay nearly enough attention to politics- it just seems so overwhelming sometimes, there is SO much going on. Instead, I set up google alerts for issues I care about & when they are mentioned in the media- I get an email with a link to the story. Totally great for busy, multitasking moms who still want to be informed.
One of my google alerts if for Post Partum Depression, something I feel passionate about- and I think sometimes gets pretty much ignored.

Side note: did you know fitness has been shown to help mild- moderate PPD? Especially group fitness. Know anyone with the baby blues? Grab them & drag them to Stroller Strides- trust me, they will thank you for it!

There is an important piece of legislation in Congress right now called the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act which is written to
support increased funding, education and research for postpartum depression. At the end of March the MBSMA passed the House & is now at the Senate. Last year, Brooke Shields spoke about the importance of the bill

"I wish I had known, (been) informed in some way, but nobody said anything to me about postpartum depression. The knowledge of PPD is a tool that I believe all women deserve, and this bill represents that tool and it's an easy gift to give women everywhere. I urge Congress to pay attention and finally listen and not let postpartum depression go undiagnosed and untreated. There's research that needs to be done. Postpartum depression is a disease that, like any other disease, we would want to inform people of and offer treatment and research for. Now is the time to pass this bill."

Like everything, the MBSA has become controversial so read the information for yourself and if it is something you support please contact your Senator and sign your name to this petition.
