So proud of an excellently organised #periconf2024 that weathered storm Bertie & even a fire evacuation!
Thank you for the lovely opportunity to speak on my psssion in #perinatalOCD
I was diligently knitting in the back row to calm my nerves!
So many takeaways from #periconf2024 but one thing sticking out in my mind is all about the money 💰
Of all health funding for research, mental health is at the bottom of the pile.
Of that, research on #OCD gets the smallest % despite being a common & treatable condition
Our next talk, from obstetrician Dr Chiara Petrosellini, focuses on sleep in the perinatal period.
There are implications for maternal mental health: a recent #MBRRACE report identified a link between sleep disturbance and maternal suicide

Next, Prof Sundari Anitha talks about domestic abuse at the intersection of gender and migration. She urges us to look beyond the “vulnerability” lens to consider structural factors - including precarity in migrant populations.
