Abstract 

Objective

To help perinatal health care providers identify and assist pregnant and postpartum patients with perinatal mental illness, specifically perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Areas of focus include risk factors and identification, screening, treatment, and referral.

Target population

All individuals who are pregnant or in the first year postpartum.

Outcomes

Open dialogue and evidence-informed care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including competency for identification, screening, treatment, and referral, which will lead to improvements in patient care.

Benefits, harms, and costs

Pregnant and postpartum individuals with untreated perinatal mental illness, including mood and anxiety disorders, may suffer devastating effects and their family may experience short- and long-term adverse outcomes.

Evidence

A literature search was conducted using Medline (Ovid), PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane library from inception to June 2024. Additional articles were identified from article bibliographies and grey literature published by reputable societies and organizations (see online Appendix A).

Validation methods

The authors rated the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. See online Appendix B (Tables B1 for definitions and B2 for interpretations of strong and weak recommendations).

Intended audience

All heath care providers who provide preconception counselling and/or care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The term "perinatal" will be used throughout this guideline to refer to these health care providers.
