Abstract
Suicide is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Mental disorders, especially mood disorders, have been identified in most perinatal suicide cases. Maternal suicidality has a negative impact on the mother-baby relationship and child development. Systematic screening for psychiatric conditions in the perinatal period is a priority. For women suffering from an acute psychiatric disorder, or a history of mental illness, multidisciplinary management should be implemented.
