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.
