Abstract
Maternal mental health during pregnancy is a growing public health priority with substantial implications for both maternal and fetal outcomes. Depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders are among the most prevalent psychological conditions affecting pregnant individuals. These conditions not only impact maternal well-being but can also lead to complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and impaired cognitive and emotional development in children. Despite increasing awareness, stigma, inadequate screening, and limited access to mental health services remain major barriers to care. This article explores the prevalence, causes, effects, and recommended interventions related to maternal mental health during pregnancy.
