Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2026

Debate

Childbirth-related Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Contribution

My Lords, I will focus on two concerns. The first is that GPs often mistake PTSD for postnatal depression, meaning that mothers do not get the appropriate treatment. The second is that at the six-week postnatal check-up, to which the noble Baroness referred, there is no approved framework for assessing women’s risk of having PTSD. As the responsible Minister, what conversations is she having with NHS England and GP organisations to make sure that these two issues are addressed?
