Implication

Systematic review examines postpartum blues, depression, and psychosis in women, highlighting risks and consequences.

Key Points

  • Perinatal mental disorders significantly impact maternal and child health, with high prevalence rates observed.
  • Around 15-20% of women face treatable mental health issues during pregnancy and postpartum, underlining the need for early intervention.
  • Postpartum depression affects 5-15% of new mothers, often leading to prolonged emotional difficulties and family impact.
  • Postpartum psychosis occurs in 0.1-0.2% of the general population but can rise to 20-25% in those with a history of affective disorders.
