"Addressing the Growing Maternal Mental Health Crisis"

Pregnant women and new mothers in the U.S. are facing a severe mental health crisis, with mental health conditions being the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths. Maternal mortality rates have surged by 60% between 2019 and 2021, driven by suicides and overdoses. Despite a slight dip in maternal deaths in 2022, experts warn that more data is needed to confirm a true decline. Limited mental health screenings and a shortage of mental health providers exacerbate the issue, while unplanned pregnancies following the overturning of Roe v. Wade may further impact maternal mental health.
