Summary: Studies related to psychiatric disorders show that maternal anxiety and depression do not negatively affect breastfeeding exclusivity within the first week of life in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Feasibility of universal screening for postpartum mood and anxiety disorders among caregivers of infants hospitalized in NICUs: a systematic review

Snehal Murthy et al.

Summary: This systematic review suggests that universal screening for postpartum mood and anxiety disorders in NICUs is feasible, but referral to mental health treatment remains a significant barrier. Engaging multidisciplinary staff in program development and incorporating screening into routine clinical practice are effective facilitators for implementing these screening programs. Further research comparing a wider range of screening tools and protocols is critical to address the prevalent conditions with significant consequences for parents and infants.
