Perinatology

Mental health is very important component of comprehensive care in perinatal period. Women during this time are especially vulnerable to psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms, which can significantly impact both maternal well-being and infant development.

A psychosomatic approach recognizes the deep connection between mind and body, and emphasizes the need to integrate the care for mental health into routine perinatal care. It encourages early recognition and intervention, involving a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals.

Cultural differences play a significant role in how women experience and express emotional distress, as well as in their access to and acceptance of psychological support. Understanding these variations is essential for providing sensitive, individualized care that respects each woman’s background and needs.

Promoting mental health in perinatal medicine is not only a medical necessity but also a global public health priority.
