There remains a lack of data during the antenatal period, particularly for high-risk subpopulations such as those with fetal anomalies. Understanding the psychological impact of women receiving a fetal anomaly diagnosis is crucial, as it can lead to MHDs. Additionally, maternal stress due to such diagnoses can have adverse effects on short- and long-term health outcomes for both the mother and the child. This study aimed to address the gap in knowledge regarding prenatal MHDs in women with fetal anomalies by characterizing maternal peripartum psychological health and identifying factors related to MHDs.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Women diagnosed with fetal anomalies (N\u2009=\u2009110) were recruited from a tertiary fetal care center and completed surveys assessing resilience, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSs). Demographic characteristics were also collected and analyzed. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to explore associations between demographic variables and mental health outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Participants endorsed elevated depressive symptoms (45%), anxiety (43%), and PTSs (39%). Private insurance and relationship status were positively associated, and resilience was negatively associated, with depression and anxiety levels. Maternal perception of diagnostic severity correlated with increased depressive symptoms and PTSs, whereas physician ratings of diagnostic severity did not.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The findings underscore the prevalence of MHD among pregnant women with fetal anomalies and emphasize the importance of assessing maternal perception of severity in predicting mental health outcomes. Identifying risk factors like insurance status and relationship status suggests avenues for targeted screening and intervention. Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for implementing effective strategies to address peripartum psychopathology related to fetal anomalies and improve overall maternal and fetal health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2508-2490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,28]],"date-time":"2025-01-28T19:44:00Z","timestamp":1738093440000},"page":"1461-1468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Perinatal
