TENS OF thousands of women at risk of mental illness each year should receive more support at every stage of pregnancy, experts say today.
Around 12 per cent of women experience depression and 13 per cent suffer anxiety at some point during and after pregnancy, with many experiencing both.
One in five women is affected in the first year after birth, while there is an increased risk of psychosis in the weeks afterwards.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) today says doctors, nurses, health visitors and midwives will be given updated guidelines on how to safely treat women before, during and after pregnancy.
