Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)—including postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder—are common complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Understanding that effective support for PMADs is essential for the well-being of the mother and infant, SEMPQIC has worked with mental health agencies and health professionals to raise awareness and offer training to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
