Perinatal mental illnesses affect millions of women and their families every year. One out of every 7 women who have a live birth experience postpartum depression and the frequency may be higher when the rates for depression among women who are postpartum due to miscarriage or stillbirth are included. One out of 10 women have an onset of depression during pregnancy and 25% of these episodes continue into the postpartum period. Rates of anxiety are similar and women with bipolar disorder are at greater risk for episode recurrences during the perinatal period.
The great news is that there is help. Perinatal mental illnesses are treatable and women recover.
