Abstract
Perinatal depression occurs during pregnancy or within the first year of life. It has a negative effect on the quality of life of parents and the relationship with the child. In Denmark perinatal depression affects up to 12% of mothers and 8% of fathers. There is stigmatisation in relation to recognition and referral for symptoms of perinatal depression which may in part be due to insufficient knowledge among professionals. This review presents the main barriers to help-seeking for perinatal depression and the status regarding early detection and possibilities for the reduction of stigmatisation.
