● Expectant and nursing mothers are prone to mental instability due to anxiety about child rearing, stress caused by changes in their living 
      environment, and changes in hormonal balance, etc. In addition, nearly 10% of cases worsen into "postpartum depression”.
● As measures to care for pregnant and nursing mothers, "comprehensive support centers for maternal and child health" have been established and
      consultation services have been developed through day services, etc. However, there is a limit to human resource support for timely mental care
      due  to the lack of resources in local governments and other organizations.
