Introduction Summary (Perinatal Depression)
Perinatal depression has been identified as a serious global public health concern because of its significant health implications for mothers and their families. In advanced nations, approximately 10 percent of expectant women and 13 percent of perinatal women suffer from mental health problems, primarily stress and sadness (Giannandrea, 2013). The perinatal period extends from the start of the pregnancy to one year following the birth of the baby. It represents a period of extreme sensitivity, especially for new mothers. Although perinatal psychiatric conditions are basically similar to those for other mental illnesses, the interventions and treatment approaches during pregnancy and lactation are different. This evaluation will look at perinatal depression and how it affects mothers and families psychologically. The purpose is to bring to attention feasible interventions that can assist in lessening the harm related to maternal and perinatal mental well-being.
PICOT Question: Among expectant mothers (P), how effective are non-pharmacological interventions (I) compared to pharmacological interventions (C) in managing depression (O) during the perinatal period (T)?
