Excited that @UCSF leadership is funding "COPE 2.0 in an effort to prioritize and promote well-being, resilience and mental health resources for the UCSF population."

Wise decision that will be amply repaid!

Policies that would actually help bonding: adequate family leave, housing reform, Medicaid extension, health equity, improved access to evidence-based MH tx for families in need or at risk, CBO supports for those without adequate family/community practical and emotional support..

[Elizabeth Fitelson, MD @EFitelson]

Yes, to all of this! I try to tell all my pregnant and pp patients that "bonding" is not magic fairy dust. It's a relationship that is messy and real, and will grow with care, time, and "good-enough" parenting

[Dr Ruth Ann Harpur @drruthannharpur]

Getting my skeptical hat on for Infant Mental Health Awareness week. Gawd save us from mental health awareness weeks.

This morning I woke to pings from several friends asking for opinions on this headline:

1 in 10 women struggle to bond with their baby

@RottenInDenmark Also, NYC is loud and self-centered? Breaking news

[Paul Appelbaum @appelbap]

Want to reduce mass shootings at schools and colleges? Screening for mental illness is not the answer, because few shooters have a serious mental illness. What is the answer? Reducing access to guns. https://t.co/1FWE4Etifr via @medscape

[Miranda van Tilburg @DrvanTilburg]

Im nowhere demonizing anti-depressants. I’m in support of them. I also think there is more going on here - many moms lack access to basic/safe housing, childcare, maternity leave, etc etc. We are leaving moms behind which definitely affects their mental health!

[Elizabeth Fitelson, MD @EFitelson]

@cclareMDMPH @acog @ACOGD2 Ooh that’s great news! Congrats

[Amalia Londoño Tobón, MD, IMH-E®🇨🇴🇺🇸 She/Ella @DrLondonoTobon]

@poojakmehta @cclareMDMPH Amy was instrumental in helping the NYC MMRC get started, and was a passionate advocate for moms and families. I’m so shocked and sad

The "House of God" (Medicine) has come a long way & still has many miles ahead:

“The culture is slowly growing to be more understanding...[but] medicine is not yet at a place where a pregnant person is fully accommodated.” @amy_gottlieb @BridgetBalch @AAMCtoday

[Elizabeth Fitelson, MD @EFitelson]

@DShalevMD Amazing! Congrats on this achievement and contribution to future psychiatrists!
