As they face a mental problem, they are thought to be “ineffective mothers” and the perception of the community about perinatal psychiatric patients is always far away from the reality of their ability to be a loving partner and mother.

Legal issues and community prejudice prevent these women seek help. A multibranch approach is vital to these women fight for stigma as they deserve obviously more.
