Fox News
New mothers sought mental health treatment more often during the coronavirus pandemic, a study found, with higher rates observed within three months after giving birth.
Researchers affiliated with the Toronto-based Women's College Research Institute compared clinical visit rates from 2016-2020, pre-pandemic baseline rates, to data from March-November 2020 to determine any increase. Postpartum mental illness is said to affect up to 1 in 5 mothers, with detriments in mom-baby interactions potentially resulting in long-term social, cognitive and behavioral consequences for children, as well as suffering for the mother, study authors wrote.More Related News
