Be an Advocate!

Ok, time to be an advocate again! Sign this and then pass it on!

Here's the text from the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance's form letter --
Many women have mood swings after birth. While they may have looked forward to the birth of their child, they can be happy one minute and extremely sad the next. Almost 80 percent of women who have recently given birth experience symptoms of postpartum blues. Postpartum depression, which is more serious can often lead to suicide. Legislation has been introduced in the both the House and the Senate that will educate the public about postpartum depression. This legislation will ensure that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services. Won't you join me in writing a letter to your legislators about this important legislation?It is quick and easy and will only take a few minutes of your time. Thank you for your consideration.
