Abstract

Nationwide, perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD) diagnoses among privately insured people increased by 93.3 percent from 2008 to 2020, growing faster in 2015-20 than in 2008-14. Most states and demographic subgroups experienced increases, suggesting worsening morbidity in maternal mental health nationwide. PMAD-associated suicidality and psychotherapy rates also increased nationwide from 2008 to 2020. Relative to 2008-14, psychotherapy rates continued to rise in 2015-20, whereas suicidality rates declined.
