Government officials are responding to the great need for support for mothers, who often experience post-natal depression. The new proposed Law no. 33/2023, supplementing Law no. 95/2006, was implemented in January to introduce the women’s right to benefit from psychological and counselling services, post-partum. This initiative comes in response to statistics showing that approximately 20% of new mothers suffer from postpartum depression. This percentage refers only to those who officially recognized that they need professional help, the actual percentage being much higher.
