In gynecology and obstetrics, the focus has traditionally been on the physical aspects of women's health. However, the vital connection between mental well-being and self-care in this field garners increasing attention. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated   10% of pregnant women and 13% of women who have just given birth experience a mental disorder, primarily depression.

This statistic underscores the pressing need to delve into the role of mental health and self-care in gynecology and obstetrics, as it has far-reaching implications for women's overall well-being.
