Women should not be told this is a real and possible outcome of childbirth which is exactly what she and Oprah would have women believe. Shields needs a stronger faith in God and intensive psychotherapy, not drugs to mask her problem.

Are you kidding?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Did you find what I said funny?

Did you see Shields on Oprah?

One hour of horrific details about how she contemplated killing her child and herself, what kind of knives she would use, how many pills, how high a ledge.

Sixty minutes of brutal psychopathy. And all the while that great child expert, Ms. Winfrey, is holding her hand and nodding.

Brooke Shields had cancer, and endured massive hormone manipulation for her in-vitro pregnancy. No wonder she was frazzled.

But to imply, as Shields clearly did, that all women are at risk from her kind of dementia is ignorant, cruel and self-serving.
