1983 law that requires a mother to have a mental health exam

Although I would never believe that a public org. would do
anything for the
good of the individual especially as a compulsory ruling - i
have seen so
many new mothers with post puerperal psychosis and also seen
how simple
treatment makes life not only bearable for them but also for
the family, the
husband and the new-born, that i think it is quite a good
idea!
