Perinatal Mental Health: A Public Health Concern
Journal Title: International Journal of Fertility & Sterility - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Psychiatric disorders are prevalent throughout the world and based on the latest survey on the prevalence of mental disorders among Iranians, these disorders were found in 23.6% of the population and were more prevalent in women than men (1). Pregnancy, childbirth and a year after delivery is considered “the perinatal period” which is a critical period for mothers, babies and the entire family. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the perinatal period is 15-29% (2) with depressive and anxiety disorders being the most common conditions (3). Also, these disorders are more prevalent in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) than high-income countries (HIC) and they might have a robust effect on the new baby and the wellbeing of the family specially that of the other children in the family (4).
