Investigation of the mental health care and maternity care given to women with obsessive compulsive disorder during pregnancy and postpartum using routinely collected mental health and maternity data.

Little is known about the sort of care that women with OCD receive in pregnancy or soon after their baby is born. This project will describe the mental health care and the maternity care provided to this group of women, and find out if it is different from the care given to other pregnant women (a group with generalised anxiety disorder and social phobia, and a group from the general population)
