Maternal Perinatal Mental Health - Hardcover

by M. Carmen Míguez Varela (Guest Editor)

This book focuses on women's psychological health during pregnancy and a9er childbirth. The 15 chapters that comprise it provide current data prevalence on both depression and anxiety, associated and/or risk factors, screening instruments, comorbidity, effects or consequences, barriers to women's participation in treatment, and a pilot study of an intervention program for primiparous women. As such, it is an excellent resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
