Midwifery detection, evaluation, and treatment of perinatal mood disorder: a quality improvement project
Get PDFPerinatal mood disorder (PMD) is the leading complication that arises during pregnancy and the postpartum period. In Oregon, rates of PMD are purportedly higher than they are nationally. Since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, rates of PMD have increased while the number of mental health providers and community resources dwindled. In 2023, practice guidelines were updated to include the new recommendation that pregnant patients should now be screened for an additional time during the third trimester.
