During pregnancy, women may experience physical and psychological changes that can make them vulnerable to mental health disorders, also known as CMD. This can have a significant impact on both the mother and the child's health, making it a public health concern. To address this issue, a study was conducted on pregnant women attending classes at the Arosbaya Community Health Center. The study used the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) to collect data on CMD. The results showed that 40% of pregnant women suffer from CMD, with decreased energy and anxiety being the most common symptoms. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to prioritize the mental well-being of pregnant women and take steps to alleviate the symptoms of psychological disorders.
