A family can be disrupted after the birth of a child when the mother experiences postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.

This monograph includes information on risk factors that increase the chances of a mother developing postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, primary prevention interventions, secondary prevention interventions, screening scales for identifying women and nursing interventions.
