Perinatal Psychiatry
Providing high-quality psychiatric care during the perinatal period has been a growing area of focus. The perinatal period, defined as the period during pregnancy until one year after delivery, is an especially vulnerable time, when women are navigating complex hormonal, neurochemical, and identity shifts. Specifically, perinatal depression affects up to 20% of mothers, elevating this issue to a public health emergency. Just a few months ago, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued a recommendation that clinicians provide or refer pregnant and postpartum women who are at increased risk of perinatal depression to counseling interventions before symptoms become severe. This collection of articles from the past 20 years reflects the evolution of the field, first introducing the complex presentation of perinatal mental illness, then taking a closer look at practice habits, including prescribing trends, and exploring the challenges associated with access to care, including stigma. It concludes by exploring the movement toward collaborative care models. This collection mirrors the development of the field of perinatal psychiatry, which calls for early identification and accessible, practical treatment interventions for at-risk mothers.
