Postnatal factsheets for women and their families

Evidence based information on postnatal mental health conditions

COPE has developed a series of postnatal mental health fact sheets that can be downloaded and printed. All information contained in these resources are underpinned by the National Perinatal Mental Health Guideline.  The National Guideline relies on the latest evidence to recommend the most effective ways to identify, diagnose and treat mental health conditions that women may develop in pregnancy and the postnatal period. These postnatal fact sheets include:

• Bipolar Disorder in the Postnatal Period

• Borderline Personality in the Perinatal Period

• Eating Disorders in Early Parenthood

• Postnatal Anxiety

• Postnatal Depression

• Postpartum Psychosis

• Safe Use of Medication in the Perinatal Period

• Schizophrenia in the Postnatal Period
