A recent study in 2021 in Nepal revealed that young, first time mother and those from disadvantageous ethnic group reported of receiving non-respectful care during childbirth and poor immediate newborn care during the exit interview [1]. There is some early evidence to suggest that women experiencing disrespect and abuse are more likely to experience common perinatal mental disorders[2][3].With the emerging results of association between disrespect and abuse during childbirth and adverse mental health status after birth, there is a need of primary intervention in low resource settings by assessing the prevalence of Common Perinatal Mental Health Disorders in Nepal and having deeper understanding of the drivers of disrespect and abuse.
