Only one drug has been approved by the FDA specifically to treat postpartum depression. But to get it, some insurers require women to try — and fail to improve with — other drugs first, and even try electroconvulsive therapy.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I don't even have the words for just how abhorrent this policy is.

I think that’s ridiculous

Insurance should not be able to dictate a patient’s treatment.

The insurance company has too much say over our health. We pay in every pay period, at times over $400 every two weeks. The insured and the PCP ought to be able to tell the insurance company what is needed and recommended.

It should be illegal for health insurance to dictate healthcare. They make decisions NOT in the best interest of the patient, but instead in the best interest of their bottom line.

Oh, jeez!

Sounds like a tying sale, which is illegal.

Of course, it is regarding women’s bodies and mental health. Why should we be able to make informed decisions with our doctors about our own well being? We need rich people without medical training that we pay a bunch of money to not cover our needs to tell us what to do.

This is awful the company needs to be censured

I’m so jealous that kid gets to suck on those titties.

CynicalTherapi1 I have no words.

Fuck insurance companies 😡

Now do it for viagra

Mental illness is a stigma for the sufferer & society, women r more vulnerable bc of the changes of hormones during pregnancy & beyond. Drug Cos demand big pay from insurers esp for a new med to cover research & ads. Gov should intervene.

Bastille Day II: Electric Boogaloo coming soon.

I think you stand corrected. Another drug would be abortion. That always gets rid of postpartum anxiety.

So you're saying that NPR is controlled by Big Pharma.

Completely insane. Thai “health system” is killing us

Completely insane. This “health system” is killing us

Peak misogyny.

This infuriates me. It’s beyond difficult to be a woman. I’m terribly uncomfortable.

When my son was 10 years old, with OCD/ADHD there was one drug of choice. But insurance wouldn’t pay for it until he tried and failed with a stimulant medication which everyone knew would make him psychotic. It did. In the middle of a school day. He was out of control. Disgusting

This woman’s face says it all 😒

I think we are being used as a control group when this kind of thing is going on. We just are not informed. It's awful!!!!!

Kaiser is socialized medicine. Let’s do this!

So sick of insurance companies dictating what procedures or medications are covered.

If it were men…

If only Viagra could treat PPD, and men suffered from it instead of women…😐

We don't have a healthcare system. We have a medical mafia. And it's way worse than anything Capone was doing.

horrible
