Objective Clarification:
With postpartum depression (PPD) being the #1 complication of childbirth--and with PPD (not to mention, antepartum depression as well) comes the potentially negative long-term impact on child development--I find it UNFATHOMABLE that perinatal mood disorders are not included on your list of objectives under Maternal, Infant and Child Health!

Objective Text:
Please include an objective to include women who suffer from postpartum mood disorders. Women who go untreated suffer tremendously, and this can have very adverse effects on the family as well.

Objective Text:
Mental Health services have been declining and many facilities are closing. Funding continues to be the concern because these disorders can cause decreased productivity throughout the lifespan. The benefits cited by most insurance providers have continued to be limited or decreased which in turn eventually puts persons with chronic mental illness into the "catch all" within the state services which continues to decrease each year. It is no longer just a question of access--many services have been decreased or terminated all together, leaving a large population without adequate care.

Objective Text:
I just learned that the community mental health board recieves from medicare/medicaid and allocates X amount of dollars to the psychiatrists per hour regardless of how many patients they see. I am not sure if this a local choice of using these dollars or a federal requirement. What would the incentive be to see more clients?
