I have so many issues with this, and with the lack of respect the medical community gives mental illness or how much it correlates with so many different aspects of life. Its frustrating to see women and families suffering because caring for yourself mentally, all the time, is still deemed culturally unacceptable and any type of mental hiccup is only treated once it hits an extreme level. When trying to start a family one takes into account all the physical genetic predispositions but its still taboo to take into account the familys mental health history and actively make changes as a just in case. Its also frustrating to see that mental health care is still so secularized from all other forms of medicine and factors like diet, excercise levels, vitamin/mineral intake, hormone levels etc. Are not taken into account when treating mental illnesses or acute changes in mental states such as post partum depression. There is still not enough awareness, not enough viable options for people. Its slowly changing, but not fast enough.
