New study finds perinatal depression is linked to increased risk of death, particularly due to suicide and during the first year after diagnosis,.
The risk is independent of psychiatric history #maternalhealth #epitwitter

Why is it that people worry about cats and toxoplasmosis in pregnancy but are unaware of the most common infectious cause of sensorineural hearing loss and cerebal palsy? #cmv @CMVAustralia @CPAllianceAU @teegstar podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…

New recommendations to screen for perinatal depression multiple times in pregnancy and in the first postpartum year aim to assist with early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

What a brilliant presentation talking timing of birth. So balanced, sensible and inspiring @sarahjestock #GOU2023
Excited to share the latest paper from my PhD looking at the prevalence of anxiety disorders among perinatal women in LMICs. Thank-you so much to my amazing team and co-authors @PerinatalEpi @MercyPerinatal @UniMelbMDHS
1 in 5 women in low- and middle-income countries experience generalized anxiety disorder during pregnancy or in the year following birth, and 1 in 12 experience PTSD. Targeted action is needed to reduce the high burden of perinatal mental health disorders. ja.ma/3G5sBi0
Congratulations @CarolineHomer!! So well deserved. Incredibly inspiring, especially for us midwives!
This is a nice but very surprising thing today! I think it shows the vale of working with great people, in excellent teams, on good problems, across disciplines! I have been fortunate to have had all 4! @BurnetInstitute @utsSoNM @unimelbMSPGH @DeakinQPS @MonashHealth

I’m seeking any indigenous midwives/maternal health researchers who would be interested in discussing the importance of Birthing on Country for a small project with @MercyPerinatal.

Perinatal #depression is a major public health challenge. While the precise burden is unclear, estimates put global prevalence at 13% to 30%.
We explore this underappreciated subject in a new Editorial: hubs.li/Q020vqM20

#WorldHealthDay is a reminder of the benefits of investing in health care—including reproductive health services.
