Perinatal depression, which includes major and minor depressive episodes that occur during pregnancy or in the first 12 months after delivery, is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period. According to the ACOG, 1 in 7 women are affected by perinatal depression! In this session we will review the ACOG committee opinion on screening for perinatal depression from the winter of 2018 (committee opinion 132).
