Abstract

Health-care organizations in various countries have addressed maternal mental health and illness differently. The evolution of approaches to screening across countries provides the opportunity to compare and contrast them and thereby understand differing of mental health assessment and treatment, impact of social values and societal acceptability, resource investments, support for the tasks of motherhood, and, more broadly, parenthood. Investigators from Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and the United States provide commentary for their respective countries.
