Improving perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through integrated infant mental health care in obstetrics: evidence from a program evaluation study
Our findings suggest possible benefits of the integrated IMH model for maternal wellness, most notably for depression symptoms during late pregnancy in a sample of women with high comorbid risk. Supporting at-risk dyads through programs like integrated IMH care represents a much-needed intervention that may make a meaningful difference in the lives of families.
