We know that there's actually physiological changes happening.

So if you fast forward from 1973, if you fast forward, there was no scans.

There was no further studies done.

That was it.

It was dropped, mattresses.

2017, you come forward to 2017, there's an American psychiatrist by the name of Alexandra Sachs.

She brought it back into the mainstream.

So again, she took out, well, she didn't take out an ad on the New York Times, but she wrote an essay in the New York Times again, which is very strategic of Peanut and Tommy Tiffey to go back to New York Times, right?

Because in 2017, Matt Dressen came back on the scene.

No, no, that doesn't exist.

Medical vocabulary does not have it.

And you ask the question, why is it not there?

In medicine, we're trained to look for illness.

Matrescence is not an illness.

So medicine doesn't see it as an illness.

So it doesn't exist, right?

When Alexandra Sachs actually talked about it in 2017, she brought it back and said, hey...

Motherhood is not what we think.

It's not this unilateral joyous thing where you're like gushing over this baby and it's all great.

Motherhood is way more complex than that.
