Abstract

Objective: In this discussion, we build the case for why climate change is an emerging threat to perinatal mental health.

Method: A search of current literature on perinatal and maternal mental health and extreme weather events was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science databases. Only articles focusing on maternal mental health were included in this narrative review.

Results: The perinatal period represents a potentially challenging timeframe for women for several reasons. Necessary role adjustments (reprioritization), changes in one's ability to access pre-birth levels (and types) of social support, fluctuating hormones, changes in body shape, and possible complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum are just a few of the factors that can impact perinatal mental health. Trauma is also a risk factor for negative mood symptoms and can be experienced as the result of many different types of events, including exposure to extreme weather/natural disasters.

Conclusion: While the concepts of "eco-anxiety," "climate despair," and "climate anxiety" have garnered attention in the mainstream media, there is little to no discussion of how the climate crisis impacts maternal mental health. This is an important omission as the mother's mental health impacts the family unit as a whole.

气候变化是对围产期心理健康的新威胁。

目的在本讨论中，我们将论证为什么气候变化是围产期心理健康的一个新威胁：方法：在 PubMed/MEDLINE 和 Web of Science 数据库中检索了有关围产期和孕产妇心理健康以及极端天气事件的现有文献。结果：围产期是一个潜在的危险期：由于多种原因，围产期对妇女来说可能是一个具有挑战性的时期。必要的角色调整（重新确定优先次序）、获得产前社会支持水平（和类型）的能力变化、荷尔蒙波动、体型变化以及怀孕、分娩或产后可能出现的并发症只是影响围产期心理健康的几个因素。心理创伤也是导致负面情绪症状的一个风险因素，可以由许多不同类型的事件造成，包括遭遇极端天气/自然灾害：尽管 "生态焦虑"、"气候绝望 "和 "气候焦虑 "等概念已经引起了主流媒体的关注，但关于气候危机如何影响孕产妇心理健康的讨论却少之又少。这是一个重要的疏忽，因为母亲的心理健康会影响整个家庭单元。
