Abstract

TURNER, R E  and  HONIKMAN, S. Maternal mental health and the first 1 000 days. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2016, vol.106, n.12, pp.1164-1167. ISSN 2078-5135.  https://doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2016.VL06IL2.12129.

Even though maternal mental health receives low priority in healthcare, it is a vital component for the developing fetus and the raising of healthy children who are able to contribute meaningfully to society. This article explores risk factors for common mental illnesses and treatment options available in under-resourced settings.
