Additional Information
Mental health during the perinatal period—pregnancy and the first year postpartum—is crucial for both the mother and baby. The emotional and physical challenges of this time can increase the risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and postpartum PTSD. Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and adjusting to new responsibilities can all contribute to these struggles. This presentation will address the issues that perinatal women face pre and post delivery.
