Clinicians’ perspectives of managing common mental disorders among pregnant women in primary care settings: a qualitative exploratory study
This study's findings suggest that primary healthcare obstetric practice does not have the required training in mental health among clinicians to screen and treat for CMDs in pregnant women in Ghana. Therefore, healthcare facilities must prioritize the integration of mental health services within routine obstetric care, ensuring that pregnant women have access to comprehensive mental health interventions alongside their routine antenatal care.
