Key messagesOne in five women experience a perinatal mental health condition, but historical neglect has resulted in limited investment in service provision and research in this areaIntegration of perinatal mental health care into maternal and child health services through task sharing is a widely accepted solutionA number of factors hamper integration such as shortage and overload of health workers, lack of research on acceptability, feasibility and sustainability, and insufficient cultural adaptation of interventionsA comprehensive stepped-care model for perinatal mental health care can make integration more achievable
