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.
