Well, tell me if you please, what is this research that was done by physician? Is there a known physical source of said depression? Or we know that there is a certain hormone that secrets in ones body to cause this depression?

> Anything we can do to treat it, even partially, is worth doing.

A very dangerous attitude if one is concerned with a human body. You don't have any idea what is going on and you going to throw in something with side effects of hitting a poor woman with a brick in a face.

Just be a man, be there and help her to get thru it. Birth is not a newest fab of 2023. It was around since the dawn of man (citation required). And for hundreds of thousands of years one would not use drugs. Suddenly we are going to change it. I beg you.

It's like re-writing a perfectly working golang server in NextJS just cause you love microservices.

It is generally rare that Hacker News comments make me physically cringe. This is, unfortunately, one of those times.

The fact that I’m a woman (who has given birth and had PPD, twice) gives it that extra je ne sais quoi.

Ew why would someone even if they love micro services go from go to node? Just seems dumb.

Write the micro services in Go lol.

But yeah I agree to some point. We medicate far too fast and easily these days. Half these drugs have insane side effects, and yet people shit on shrooms. At least I won’t die from blood clots or some random shit.
