For my opinion, this is our job as medical personnel to fire up the awareness of this illness to prevent further complication for the mother as well as the child. It is a great move The National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University Mailman School of Public to suggest the implementation of the policy. May this will be followed by other country who still do not practice this policy in order to increase the quality of health for the people. I agreed with Mahfot.

Just to share that in some rural area in Malaysia, maternal depression is link to an evil spirit that comes and disturb the mother. This kind of believe make it hard for us as health professionals to prevent this condition to continue to happen. Just to share. Cheers! Hi,
