I hadn’t heard about this either. Sometimes I think that the world is full of TMI and that sometimes it can be dangerous. I think if it is handled correctly then this information will prove useful in the long run. Thank you so much for linking to PoCoLo and sorry for the delay in commenting xx

I hadn’t heard this news and agree it is an interesting, yet potentially dangerous area like you say. It is great that there is a test for these genetic markers and really mental health is no different from physical health in that sense, but it is also a much more unknown and complex area. I didn’t suffer with PND luckily but do understand how fragile you are especially in 1st pregnancy and early motherhood. Being told you are in a risk category for PND may help some people in that they can ensure they have the support networks in place but not everyone is so fortunate. It is frustrating that funding goes into such research when we know it won’t be properly managed everywhere. v thought provoking. x Popping over from Post Comment love. x
