How Does ACOG Address Maternal Mental Health and Its Impact on Pediatrics?
ACOG provides comprehensive guidelines on maternal mental health, recognizing its significant impact on pediatric care. Maternal mental health issues, such as postpartum depression, can affect the mother's ability to care for her newborn and establish a healthy mother-infant bond. Pediatricians often rely on ACOG's recommendations to screen for and address these issues, ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the child.
