Yes, becoming a mother is one of life's most significant life events, involving major physiological, hormonal, cognitive, and social changes , and is a period of heightened vulnerability to mental health disorders. This applies not only to pregnancy itself, but also to the postpartum period, which extends for at least a year after childbirth.

The perinatal period , therefore, is a period of risk for the appearance of mental disorders, including psychosis, for worsening of symptoms (or for a worse ability to cope with them) and for relapse.

Therefore, it is very important to be able to offer attention to the emotional aspects that appear and to carry out good follow-up during the perinatal period with the team of mental health professionals and with the obstetrics team.
