Boston Globe Endorses Postpartum Depression Screening Legislation in Massachusetts

The editorial board at the Boston Globe has come out in favor of legislation that would require postpartum depression screening in Massachusetts.

"Early detection could stave off far more serious problems for mothers and their babies, whose well-being is deeply linked to the first few months of care. And universal screening would ensure that no woman falls through the cracks. The sooner new mothers can be diagnosed, the sooner they will recover."

Exactly.
