Summary
Early depression screening and risk stratification of modifiable risk factors during pregnancy for women at risk of perinatal mental health conditions is important to ensure safe care delivery during prenatal care and into the postpartum period. Using psychotherapy and antidepressants together with care to avoid multiple psychotrophic medications can limit exposure of medications during pregnancy while ensuring adequate treatment of depression and other mood disorders.
