Approximately 1 in 5 new and expectant birth parents and up to 1 in 10 non-birth parents experience problematic symptoms of perinatal anxiety and/or depression.

Perinatal Depression and Anxiety (PNDA) doesn't just affect new mums, it can happen to all sorts of parents: dads, and non-birth parents, sex, sexuality and gender diverse parents, as well as foster carers, adoptive parents, and extended family.

Across Australia, 100,000 families are affected by PNDA every year.
