What is Perinatal Mental Health?

Perinatal mental health refers to the mental health and emotional wellbeing of individuals during pregnancy and in the first year after birth. This is a time of significant change and adjustment, and it is common for people to experience a range of emotional challenges during this period.

Perinatal mental health conditions include antenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and difficulties adjusting to parenthood. These conditions are more common than many people realise, and effective support is available.
