  3. The extent of the problemBURDEN OF DISEASE WHO estimate mental illness will be one of 2 major illness burdens confronting the world by 2020

  4. The extent of the problemCommon perinatal mental disorders Global • HIC 13% (antenatal); 10% (postnatal) • LMIC 16% (antenatal); 20% (postnatal) Fisher et al 2012 Africa • Malawi 30.4% (MDE 13.9%) (SCID D at 9 mths PP) Stewart et al 2008 • Nigeria 18.6% (D) Abiodun 2006 • Ethiopia 21.9% (S) Servili et al 2010 (antenatal/postnatal) • Uganda 6.15% (D) Nakku et al 2006 • Zimbabwe 33% (D) Chibanda et al 2012 Other LMIC settings • Pakistan 25% (D) MDE Rahman et al . (2004). rural community • Chile 36% (S) Husain et al 2006 • India 16.2%-20.3% (PPD) (D) Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002 • Nepal 12% (S) Regmi et al 2002 D: diagnostic S: screen

  5. South Africa • Neuropsychiatric conditions: 3rd highest contributor to burden of disease in SA Bradshaw et al 2007 • Prevalence common mental disorders (SASH study) Herman et al 2009 • 12-month prevalence = 16.5% • lifetime prevalence = 30%

  6. The extent of the problemperinatal mental illness South Africa • Antenatal depression • 40% (Khayelitsha – screening data) • 47% (KwaZulu Natal – diagnostic data) • Postnatal depression • 35% (Khayelitsha – diagnostic data) • Hanover Park (antenatal) PMHP 45% • 22% Major Depression • 22% Anxiety spectrum • 20% Alcohol and substance disorder • 13% medium/high suicide risk PMHP unpublished data 2013

  7. Mind the Gap • Treatment gap: >80% of SAs do not receive the mental health care they need Wolvaardt et al 2008, Seedat et al 2009

  8. Risk Factors Protective Factors having more education (RR 0.5; P = 0.03) having a permanent job (OR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.4–1.0) being of the ethnic majority (OR: 0.2; 95% CI: 0.1–0.8) having a kind, trustworthy intimate partner (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.3–0.9) • socioeconomic disadvantage (OR range: 2.1–13.2) • unintended pregnancy (1.6–8.8) • being younger (2.1–5.4) • being unmarried (3.4–5.8) • lacking intimate partner empathy and support (2.0–9.4) • having hostile in-laws (2.1–4.4) • Experiencing intimate partner violence (2.11–6.75) • having insufficient emotional and practical support (2.8–6.1) • in some settings, giving birth to a female (1.8–2.6) • having a history of mental health problems (5.1–5.6) Fisher et al, Systematic Review Bull World Health Organ 2012

The work of the PMHP Clinical Services Incubator • Develop maternal mental health service interventions which are • Adaptable, responsive • Evidence-based • Cost-efficient Advocacy Research Teaching & Training Interventions to scale Vision All women have universal access to quality maternal mental health care, routinely integrated into maternity services.

  12. Preparing the ground • Relationship building – all levels • Identify and acknowledge staff mental health needs • Address staff mental health needs • “maternal mental health literacy” – join the dots…….. • Find champions • Buy-in from management • On-going

  13. Training and TeachingTo prepare and capacitate the public health environment to integrate maternal mental health services by building a critical mass of trained frontline health workers Key principles: • Address background trauma and abuse • Active participants - humour and affirmation • Acknowledge the mental health status and needs of participants ‘Care for the carer’ • Innate health worker skills – harnessed & optimised • Training packages (incl. train-the-trainer) • Training resources • Who • Cascade effect? 700-800 health workers trained/yr

  15. Routine screening • To screen or not to screen? • Do more harm? Labelling? • Adequate source for referral? • When to screen? – first antenatal visit • Who to screen? • Who to administer screening? • Screen with what • Valid • Brief • Easy to score • Culturally appropriate • Mood + risk

  16. The referral element • Location, location, location • Link with other ‘physical health appointments’ • Quality of referral • Explore, explain, demystify • Tracking for uptake • Open-door policy • Monitor declining and defaulting

  17. ScreeningMowbray Maternity Hospital (MMH)

  18. Interventionon-site and follow-up • On-site counselling – ‘one stop shop’ • Training • Dedicated • Space • Face-to-face and telephonic • Group • Different modalities (PST, CBT, IPT, Bereavement, MI, antenatal preparation, relaxation) • Liaison & referral • Takes time • Mapping • Relationship-building • Tracking • Poverty alleviation
