NICE release new guidelines today for Antenatal and Postnatal Mental Health. PANDAS is proud to have worked with NICE on these guidelines. Commenting on the guideline, Rachael Dobson, Co-Founder and CEO PANDAS (Pre and Postnatal Depression Advice and Support), said: “Being pregnant and becoming a parent often brings great expectations of what motherhood will be like and unfortunately for many, the reality does not match these expectations. Suffering mental illness during pregnancy and post natal is very common. These new guidelines highlight how important the quality of care, treating each women as an individual and working with them to determine the right treatment and support for them is. I welcome these new guidelines as an aid to assisting doctors, midwives, health visitors and nurses identify mental health illnesses in pregnant women and mothers, which will allow the illnesses to be treated and supported earlier thus helping to lower the impact both on women and the wider family unit.” Let us know your views on the NICE guidelines, is enough being done? https://nice.org.uk/news/article/address-gaps-in-mental-health-care-for-new-mothers
