Abstract

In recent years, there is a growing number of investigations dealing with the pathophysiological state of pregnant women Increased anxiety and depression are common, but often unrecognized conditions that give rise to negative female and fetal health effects. The number of women who experience anxiety throughout pregnancy and take psychotropic medications thereof continues to increase. However, the use of drugs is not considered to be safe for the mother and fetus, which calls for a search for alternative methods to correct psychological states in pregnant women. The review gives data in the past decade on the impact of anxiety, depression, and childbirth fear on the course of labor, as well as on possible methods of prenatal non-drug psychocorrection.
