This training explored:
While motherhood is culturally perceived as a ‘happy’ period in life, there are several mental health conditions that may present during pregnancy and postpartum. These are identified under the term Perinatal Mood and Anxiety disorders (PMADs). Up to 1 in 5 women will suffer from a mental health disorder like postpartum depression and less than 15% will receive treatment. Given the social determinants of health affecting Latinos, they may be at a higher risk for developing symptoms. PMADs have an adverse effect on mothers, fathers/partners, mother–infant interactions, and infant outcomes, which makes early detection and treatment essential for the overall well-being of families.

Si bien la maternidad se percibe culturalmente como un período "feliz" en la vida, existen varias condiciones de salud mental que pueden presentarse durante el embarazo y el posparto. Estos se identifican bajo el término Trastornos Perinatales del Estado de Ánimo y la Ansiedad (PMAD, por sus siglas en inglés). La data indica que 1 de cada 5 mujeres sufrirá un trastorno de salud mental como la depresión posparto y menos del 15% recibirá tratamiento. Considerando los determinantes sociales de la salud que afectan a los latines, puede haber un mayor riesgo de desarrollar síntomas en comunidades latinas. Los PMAD tienen un efecto adverso en las madres, los padres/parejas, las interacciones madre-hijo y los el desarrollo infantil, lo que hace que la detección temprana y el tratamiento sean esenciales para el bienestar general de las familias.
