What a dream.
Just on a very small scale, it would be great to have universal standardized screening recommended. What I mean by that is to have a clear message sent to all primary care providers that this is important and that there's nuance in how you do it. If you use the gold standard globally—that's called the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale—you can use it, but you can make it part of a conversation. It doesn't have to be handing someone a piece of paper, so you can incorporate that into your regular practice. However, the strong message is, “Ask people about their mental health to see whether there's depression there.”
Then, if I had the additional latitude and money, it would be wonderful to see some of these other recommendations you heard today, in terms of having more of a national strategy for perinatal mental health that would enable additional training and capacity for health care providers to know how to best support people and how to connect them to all of the amazing supports that are out there but that, as we heard, are not necessarily connected.
