Sažetak
This is an editorial for the two newly published studies, Smythe et al. (2022) and Sultan et al (2022) which are systematic reviews dealing with the topic of perinatal mental health (i.e., mental health during the time of pregnancy up to 1 year after birth). Smythe et al. (2022) estimated prevalence rates of perinatal depression and anxiety in parental dyads and associated factors, while Sultan et al. (2022) examined the psychometric properties of 10 existing patient- reported outcome measures (PROM) for assessing maternal postpartum depression. They concluded that the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is the only receiving a class A recommendation or recommendation for use. Some implications and recommendations for future studies and clinical management of perinatal mental health difficulties are discussed and proposed.
