Summary
Mental health disorders are common in pregnancy and after childbirth, and maternity services will encounter symptoms that vary in severity from the mild self-limiting to the potentially life-threatening as part of daily practice. Detecting women with, or at risk of, a serious mental health disorder and accessing appropriate care in a timely fashion is a shared responsibility. However, given the frequency of contact maternity service have with women through this period, maternity services have a pivotal role. From a mental health perspective, high-risk pregnancies are primarily associated with serious mental illness (psychotic illnesses and severe depressive episodes). However, given the challenges in interpreting emerging anxiety and mood symptoms, clinicians require a broader understanding of mental health presentations.
