It is believed that anxiety and depression are minor illnesses, and the tranquilizers and antidepressants are "luxury" drugs that must be avoided but in actual fact inadequately treated depressive and anxiety disorders can seriously interfere in the functioning of the mother.

Many people believe that mental disorders tend to improve during pregnancy but in actual fact some disorders have a relapse rate of up to 50-70% in the postnatal period especially if they do not receive treatment.
#LetsTalkMaternalMentalHealth
People believe that pregnancy is a period of well-being and it protects the women from psychological unease, but in reality 20% of women have a psychiatric disorder in pregnancy or in postnatal period.

@PNDandMe As a people we should work harder to encourage the masses to do away with the old traditional myths so that they can be able to seek perinatal health services

Gender Based Violence.. Some of the causes of GBV which were pointed out by female parents included infidelity and economic hardships especially as a result of Covid-19, lack of communication among family members, drug abuse and immaturity.
The effects of GBV on mental health can not be left unsaid as it is greatly contributing to distress and depression hence contributing to large numbers of suicides.
