Postpartum Anxiety in the Contemporary Perinatal Landscape: Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Treatment - A Systematic Review

Author(s) Mr. RAVI PRAKASH

Abstract Postpartum anxiety (PPA) is among the most prevalent — and yet most persistently underrecognized — disorders of the perinatal period. The landmark state-of-the-art review by Feldman and colleagues, published in The Lancet Psychiatry in 2025, established a pooled global prevalence of 12.3% and issued a candid call to action: the field lacks a unified definition, validated ongoing assessment tools, and adequate biological characterisation. The present review builds directly on that foundation.
