[email protected] Specialist psychiatric support for mothers who experience mental illness More than one in 10 women experience mental ill health during pregnancy or within the first year of having their baby. These can range from mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar affective disorder; anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to psychotic disorders including schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis. The perinatal community mental health team provides support at or close to home for mothers with moderate to serious mental health needs, both before and following delivery of their babies. They also provide training for midwives and health visitors to help them identify women who need psychiatric care. 116 Supporting your mental health - Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
