The concept of how postpartum depression can develop into something as serious as psychosis, which ultimately deems women insane enough to murder their children is under close scrutiny. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that occurs in about 10 to 15 percent of new mothers, and should be differentiated from milder forms of the more common “postpartum/baby blues. (Janine Castle, 2008).” The baby blues is the experience of mild sadness, tearfulness, anxiety, irritability, or mood swings after having a baby. These symptoms are normal and usually decrease in a matter of days or weeks. Postpartum depression and or postpartum psychosis are less common but much more severe postpartum (after childbirth) problems. Postpartum depression is the possible experience of severe sadness or emptiness, emotional numbness, or crying a lot, withdrawal from family, friends, or activities that are pleasurable, constant fatigue, trouble sleeping, overeating, or loss of appetite, strong sense of failure or inadequacy, intense concern and worry about the baby or a lack of interest in the baby, thoughts about suicide, and fears of harming the baby. Symptoms tend to fluctuate, with the predominant symptom often being anxiety. Symptoms of PPD present within the first four weeks following childbirth (Janine Castle, 2008).
A byproduct of postpartum depression is, Postpartum Psychosis a more rare disorder that usually occurs as a severe form of postpartum depression. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations (hearing voices or seeing things that are not real) thoughts of harming the baby, and severe depressive symptoms. Through an effective screening process during the antepartum and postpartum periods, secondary prevention of PPD is possible, th...

...e taken seriously, accompanied by laws that enforce necessary safety precautions. It’s not enough to simply acknowledge the issue, and make connections to how the disorder manifests itself. Drastic steps need to be taken to prevent opportunities of murder. The matter of if these women are legitimately ill is only relevant in determining the legal course of action that should be taken against them. The bottom line remains that post partum psychosis is the justification that is being used to explain material filicide and or neonatcide. With this being the case, the arguments of why and how, and debates of validity are nonproductive as it is not helping to prevent further actions. Postpartum Psychosis is a serious condition and should be treated accordingly. Everyday that this illness is ignored or minimized is one day closer to a possible mental break down.

I Canada’s Poor Productivity Performance Canada is unique, since the quality of life for Canadians is phenomenal, yet, our productivity growth is quite poor in comparison to other first world countries (Alini, 2013, para. 1). Productivity growth is important, since it increases our purchasing power, and the quality of life of its citizens (Alini, 2013, para. 1). Prior to the 1980’s, Canada faced high inflation, growing public debt, internal and external trade restrictions, and high rates of taxation
A Look at Colgate Advertising Strategies Over the Years "To be, or not to be?" This is the question that plagues companies every year. The business is one of survival- survival of the fittest. Companies around the world are constantly scattering about, developing new weapons in nuclear advertisement. Having looked back at old strategies, it is interesting to see the strategies that worked have lasted over time. Since the April 5, 1937 edition of LIFE magazine, Colgate's advertisements have evolved
and capital to labour mix. Despite successive government interventions intended to improve Canada's labour productivity growth, it remains sluggish compared to the United States. A large Canada-U.S. gap has developed in multifactor productivity (MFP) - a component of productivity growth that is unrelated to increased capital intensity and skills upgrading and is often interpreted as innovation. Economists cite low improvement in innovation as the explanation for Canada's stunted growth. Fuelling
Assignment #1: Theory Application: Person-in-environment When analyzing a case, it is very important to discuss the major biological, psychological, and social factors involved. It is important to pay special attention on how these factors intersect on one another and how this intersectional play affects the whole well being of a human. Robins, S.P., Chatterjee, P. & Canda, E.R. (2012) stress that “all systems theories are based on a holistic view of people that acknowledges the interrelationship

productivity is determined by three inter-connected factors: capital deepening (i.e., improvements in infrastructure and technology), labour composition growth (i.e., improvements in the skills and knowledge of the workforce), and multi-factor productivity (MFP), commonly referred to as innovation. The Conference Board of Canada defines innovation as, "a process by which economic and social value is extracted from knowledge by generating, developing, and implementing ideas to produce new or improved strategies

I. The biggest lessons I have learned from my own teaching and from observing peers and experienced teachers. I have got rich experience to learn new things and unlearn some others. Though, I have been teaching for thirteen years, I didn’t get chance to reflect my teaching and learning from others. I used to believe in student centered teaching but didn't have much idea. The CELTA course has nurtured and strengthened my passion as a teacher. It has rekindled my desire to be an innovative, resourceful

Labour productivity that considers only labour as an input is commonly used in the construction industry. 2. Multi-factor or total productivity measures (MFP) relate a particular measure of output to a group of inputs, or total inputs used.

“We have been very conditioned by the cultures that we come from and are usually very identified with the particular gender that we happen to be a member of.” This quote by Andrew Cohen explains partially how gender identity develops, through the conditioning of our environments. The most influential factor of gender development, however, is still a very controversial issue. An analysis of the gender identification process reveals two main arguments in what factor most greatly contributes to gender
Society and Government: Which is the Cart and Which is the Horse? 1. Political unions rule our lives; religion rules our souls. So long as both exist, a balance must be struck between them. James Madison, in “Federalist Paper Number 10” and “A Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments,” and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in The Social Contract, each tries to determine this balance, yet they come to vastly different conclusions. While Madison believes religious freedom is essential, Rousseau
