Type: article
Abstract: Estimates of global prevalence of poor perinatal mental health (PMH) range from 13 to 30 percent, with higher prevalence in low- and middle-income countries.1 Defined as the period between pregnancy through two years postpartum, PMH includes clinical depression, anxiety, and psychosis, among other conditions. Myriad biological, socioeconomic, political factors, and gender inequalities can magnify the risk of poor PMH outcomes.2
