Mood and anxiety disorders are common, debilitating psychiatric illnesses that disproportionally affect women of childbearing age. Relatively few studies have evaluated the extent to which, if at all, maternal mood and anxiety disorders are risk factors for preeclampsia, and results from available studies are inconsistent. We examined the risk of preeclampsia in relation to maternal medical history of mood and anxiety disorders.
