Perinatal mental health encompasses the psychological concerns experienced by a woman during and after pregnancy.
This more commonly includes postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety but some women also experience obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, posttraumatic stress, and very rarely psychosis.
Research estimates that up to 20% of women experience depression and anxiety while pregnant or after giving birth.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists now recommends screening all women for symptoms during the perinatal period, due to the significant impact that untreated symptoms of a mood or anxiety disorder can have on a woman, her baby, and the rest of her family.
