Methods: We examined and included 13 documents for the presence or lack of a statement of intent and/or actions related to caring for women at risk for or experiencing PND. Results: Although PND is actively researched and included in the clinical practice guidelines, no other policy documents mention PND. Conclusion: General recommendations to address this matter include channeling resources into developing care for PND, increasing advocacy work to reduce stigma, setting up appropriate training pathways for health care providers, and creating more roles and user-friendly modules for local volunteers to deliver mental health interventions Mary Ann Liebert 2023-07-28 Article PeerReviewed Alimuddin, Aishah Siddiqah and Mohd Shukor, Nuur Asyikin and Soh, Shean Yih and Suainbon, Rosnadia and Mahmud, Asma Assa'edah and Abdul Samad, Farah Deena and Ismail, Nurazah and Asiff, Muna Hamiza (2023) Mind matters:a critical look at Malaysia’s postnatal depression policy for women’s mental health.
