Excited that @UCSF leadership is funding "COPE 2.0 in an effort to prioritize and promote well-being, resilience and mental health resources for the UCSF population." Wise decision that will be amply repaid! @Dr_Epel @EFitelson ucsf.edu/news/2023/08/425941…

Yes, to all of this! I try to tell all my pregnant and pp patients that "bonding" is not magic fairy dust. It's a relationship that is messy and real, and will grow with care, time, and "good-enough" parenting
Getting my skeptical hat on for Infant Mental Health Awareness week. Gawd save us from mental health awareness weeks. This morning I woke to pings from several friends asking for opinions on this headline: 1 in 10 women struggle to bond with their baby amp.theguardian.com/lifeands…

Policies that would actually help bonding: adequate family leave, housing reform, Medicaid extension, health equity, improved access to evidence-based MH tx for families in need or at risk, CBO supports for those without adequate family/community practical and emotional support..

Want to reduce mass shootings at schools and colleges? Screening for mental illness is not the answer, because few shooters have a serious mental illness. What is the answer? Reducing access to guns. medscape.com/viewarticle/992… via @medscape

Im nowhere demonizing anti-depressants. I’m in support of them. I also think there is more going on here - many moms lack access to basic/safe housing, childcare, maternity leave, etc etc. We are leaving moms behind which definitely affects their mental health!

The "House of God" (Medicine) has come a long way & still has many miles ahead: “The culture is slowly growing to be more understanding...[but] medicine is not yet at a place where a pregnant person is fully accommodated.” @amy_gottlieb @BridgetBalch @AAMCtoday
Medical students across the country are calling for greater support for new parents, pushing for more comprehensive parental leave policies. As @CMangurian highlights, addressing the needs of caregivers is critical to cultivating a sustainable workforce. aamc.org/news-insights/medic…

U.S. maternal health crisis facts: 1⃣ The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. 2⃣ More than 4 in 5 pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable. 3⃣ There are stark racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes in the U.S.
