Prevalence of psychiatric disorders during pregnancy-a feasibility study at second trimester ultrasound in the general population (GROUP study): study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

During the perinatal period, women have an increased risk for psychiatric disorders, which are highly prevalent in this context. In addition, there are significant delays in diagnosing these conditions, worsening their prognosis and increasing their societal burden. Studies describing psychiatric disorders in the perinatal period often focus on specific disorders; only postpartum depression and, to a lesser extent, anxiety disorders are studied. There are also very few evaluations conducted by clinicians based on a semistructured interview, relying on the diagnostic criteria of international nosography.

Methods and analysis

This multicentric prospective study will recruit 140 adult pregnant women based on randomly selected second trimester (T2) ultrasound consul
