ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Seeking help for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders is crucial for women's mental health and babies' development, yet many women do not seek help for their condition and remain undiagnosed and untreated. This systematic review of systematic reviews aimed at summarizing and synthesizing findings from all systematic reviews on seeking help for PMAD in the context of interdependence theory, highlighting the interdependent relationship between women and healthcare providers and how it may impact women's seeking-help process.METHODS:
Four electronic databases were searched, and 18 studies published up to 2023 met inclusion criteria for review.RESULTS:
The capability, opportunity and motivation model of behavior was used as a framework for organizing and presenting the results. Results demonstrate that seeking help for PMAD is a function of the interdependent relationship between perinatal women's and healthcare providers' psychological and physical capabilities, social and physical opportunities, and their reflective and automatic motivation.CONCLUSIONS:
Unmet needs in perinatal mental healthcare is an important public health problem. This systematic review of systematic reviews highlights key factors for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to consider to optimize healthcare systems and interventions in a way that enhances perinatal women's treatment whenever necessary.
