Abstract

Perinatal mental health problems account for a substantial health burden across the world. Almost one in two women aged under 25 report some form of common mental disorders during pregnancy1. The use of psychotropic medications, especially antidepressants and antipsychotics, has doubled in the past two decades, with a disproportionate increase amongst women at childbearing age and during pregnancy.
