Résumé : |
It is well publicised that many women suffering from perinatal mental health in the United Kingdom (UK) do not have access to the support that they need. Up to 25% of women will experience postnatal depression (Bauer et al 2014) with many more suffering from other conditions that affect their mental health, including antenatal depression and anxiety, maternal obsessive compulsive disorder, postpartum psychosis and adjustment disorders. In 2016 an estimated 193708.75 of women experienced postnatal derpression (Public Health England (PHE) 2017). Despite this, there are very few specialist services in the UK that support this vulnerable group. Furthermore, women are at risk of being abandoned by services, dependant on their postcode and the lottery of living within a trust that may or may not have a specialist perinatal mental health service (Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA)). Indeed, the evidence illustrates that perinatal mental health issues are the leading cause of death over the perinatal period for women form conception to one-year postpartum (PHE 2017), with an estimated further 60% of cause of deaths going undetected (Hogg 2013). |
