The study said that before depression, the rate of perinatal depression was considered to be 15-20 per cent. Also, 22.7 per cent reported clinically significant levels of generalized anxiety and 10.3 per cent reported symptoms above the clinical threshold for PTSD. Talking about the issue, Liu said, "People who are working from home, who have maternity leave, or who simply have the time to do a survey like this are disproportionately white and well-off. That is a limitation to this work. Through a survey, we can get in-depth information very quickly, but we are missing the perspectives of various important segments of the population".

"Co-author Carmina Erdei, MD, of the Department of Pediatric Newborn Medicine also expressed his views as he said, "We were looking for associations that inform what we can do as clinical providers to better support families during this time. We wanted to know what is being taken away when a new mother is not able to participate in the usual rituals around birth and welcoming a new family member. The survey responses offer valuable insight into that and help guide what we as health care professionals can do better".
