FDA Approves First Oral Treatment for Postpartum Depression

Cannabis can also cause fetal harm. And fetal harm is also irrelevant here because this is a treatment for postpartum depression, I.e depression after birth, at which point there is no fetus to be harmed.

There's also no credible evidence that cannabis is an efficacious treatment for postpartum depression.

But sure, why even bother with science? Just smoke a joint...

I'll get back to you once I've figured out how to stop the ongoing deterioriation of American democracy. Right after getting off the phone with the nobel committee.

Well, considering that science is wrong far more often than it’s right (and done poorly), blindly appealing to it as sole arbiter and authority is maybe a bit hubristic?

Also - you can acquire postpartum depression while pregnant. You can get pregnant soon after having a baby. But hey, science.
