Most initiatives to reduce global maternal morbidity and mortality address direct causes such as hypertensive disorders and hemorrhage. But other, more subtle but serious threats to childbearing women often go unaddressed, such as common perinatal mental health disorders. These include nonpsychotic mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders, which are commonly found in community and primary care settings and are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality among childbearing women worldwide. 1, 2 Perinatal depression, defined here as a depressive episode beginning during pregnancy or up to one year postpartum, is the most common perinatal mental disorder and the second leading contributing factor to the disease burden of childbearing women globally. 1, 3, 4 Despite their high prevalence, common perinatal mental disorders often go undiagnosed and untreated due to a lack of or limited mental health infrastructure. This is particularly true in low-and middle-income countries where scarce resources limit the ability of the health system to address even the most pressing needs.A key approach to addressing this gap in need and care is to integrate mental health into existing maternal care services. This approach is consistent with midwifery core competencies5 and situates midwives as critical partners in efforts to address women’s mental health in low-and middle-income countries.
