Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Agreed, but.. Could also be Postpartum psychosis.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_psychosis
Pregnancy a very wild ride for women. It changes them physically. Here’s a short list for your reading pleasure.
Cellular Changes
• Fetal Microchimerism: Cells from the fetus, containing the baby’s DNA, migrate into the mother’s bloodstream and organs (including the brain, heart, and liver). These fetal cells can persist for decades, potentially influencing immune function, tissue repair, and disease resistance.
• Increased Mitochondrial Activity: Pregnancy demands high energy levels, leading to increased mitochondrial activity in maternal cells to support fetal growth.
• Changes in Immune System: The immune system shifts to a more tolerant state to avoid rejecting the fetus while still defending against infections.
Brain Changes
• Gray Matter Reduction (but Increased Efficiency): Studies show that pregnancy leads to a long-term reduction in gray matter in regions associated with social cognition and empathy. This isn’t a loss of function but rather a refinement, optimizing the brain for maternal bonding and caregiving.
• Increased Connectivity in Emotion & Reward Centers: Pregnancy enhances neural connectivity in areas linked to emotional processing, making mothers more responsive to their baby’s needs.
• Hormonal Impact on Neuroplasticity: High levels of estrogen, progesterone, and oxytocin reshape the brain, potentially leading to increased stress resilience and maternal instincts.
DNA-Level Changes
• Epigenetic Modifications: Pregnancy can alter gene expression through DNA methylation and histone modifications, affecting the mother’s metabolism, immune function, and even aging rate.
• Telomere Shortening or Lengthening: Some studies suggest that pregnancy may shorten telomeres (linked to aging), while others indicate a potential protective effect, particularly in women with multiple children.
• Impact on Future Health: These epigenetic shifts can influence a mother’s long-term health, including risks for conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
Yeah my bad, I thought postpartum psychosis was part of the DSM-5. I said "mental illness" thinking PPP was included. Was confused why all the downvotes til I looked it up lol
