Commentary highlights the need for improved identification and management of postpartum mental disorders in birthing parents with complications.
An estimated 20% of birthing parents develop postpartum mental disorders. Having a medically high-risk infant and/or serious obstetrical complications that precede the birth of a medically high-risk infant both increase the risk for postpartum mental disorders. Yet, existing knowledge about how to best identify and manage postpartum mental disorders in this population is limited. This commentary calls for tailored interventions to improve the identification and management of postpartum mental disorders among birthing parents with obstetrical complications and/or medically high-risk infants.
