Welcome
PANDSI (Post & Ante Natal Depression Support & Information Inc.) provides education, support and information for families in the Canberra and ACT region who are experiencing antenatal (AND) or postnatal (PND) depression. Education and referral to other community-based organisations and health professionals is also provided by PANDSI. PND can affect up to one in four mothers with the onset usually occuring during the first year after birth, while AND affects as many as 16% of women with onset at any time during pregnancy. Approximately 1 in 500 women will experience post-partum psychosis which is a serious mental health disorder requiring immediate medical intervention.
