In Los Angeles county, 26% of pregnancies are affected by depressive symptoms during pregnancy and 47% report symptoms after pregnancy. The UCLA Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology recognizes this alarming trend, and is one of the few OB/GYN departments around the country to provide in-house psychiatric services to combat these staggering statistics. Our Maternal Outpatient Mental health Services (MOMS) Clinic is a collaborative program co-founded by UCLA Psychiatry and UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology.
