Cradle of despair?
Article Abstract:
An examination of the increasing tendency to label normal reactions to childbirth as postnatal depression and to offer counselling to those exhibiting even the slightest symptoms. It is contended that this tendency is undermining our ability to cope as parents and that society would do better if it trusted that the majority of new parents can, just as they did in the past, cope with their feelings without outside intervention.

It is suggested that this tension can lead Asian girls to harm themselves or suffer from psychiatric problems and that more could be done by society to help them.
