1. Michael Crawford Michael Crawford United Kingdom says:

    The idea of giving a supplement of a placenta pill or anything else for that matter after birth in the hope of preventing mood disorders, depression and the like misses the point. Post-natal depression is in a sense wrongly named as the beginnings can be detected 32 weeks after conception. Indeed there is a body of evidence which indicates that the period of greatest concern is the condition of the mother prior to conception.
