Randomized trial uncovers perinatal depression care gaps in individuals without psychiatric history, highlighting the need for universal screening.
Perinatal individuals without a prepregnancy psychiatric history were less likely to be screened, referred, and treated for depression. Differences in screening and referrals resulted in missed opportunities for care, reinforcing the urgent need for universal mental health screening and psychoeducation during the perinatal period.
