Barriers act across multiple levels to reduce quality mental health promotion and care, thereby creating an environment where inequitable access to identification of mental disorders and quality mental health services was embedded into systems and everyday practice. Integrated interventions across multiple levels are essential to improve the early identification and treatment of mental illness in perinatal women in South Africa. We provide recommendations derived from our findings to overcome barriers at each of the four identified levels

Anxiety · Biostatistics · Environmental health · Family medicine · Health care · Mental health · Mental illness · Nonprobability sampling · Population · Postpartum period · Pregnancy · Psychiatry · Public health · Qualitative research · Snowball sampling · Thematic analysis · Breastfeeding Practices and Influences · Maternal and Perinatal Health Interventions · Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy and Postpartum · Medicine · Nursing
