So I have seen some depressive cases.
I maybe misled you there.
I do see some women, but they're not in the trenches of depression.
They feel like they're slipping into it.
So my advice would be if you have a woman who's given birth in the last, how long do we say?
I'll just look at my manual.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Well, perinatal period.
The perinatal period is defined as, from a psychiatric point of view, is defined as from conception right up to two years.
Two years old.
So if you have a mother who's in that period, have a look.
Oh, really?
Perinatal.
Yeah, it's still postnatal.
Peri just means around.
Okay.
So it's before birth.
Post means beyond birth.
Natal is birth.
So postnatal, antenatal is before birth.
