Failures in maternity or new-born care can have a profound and lasting psychological effect on parents, including birth trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and the grief that follows injury to or the loss of a baby. The experts at Psychology and Psychiatry Experts assess the nature and severity of these conditions, establish their link to the care in question, and provide clear opinion on diagnosis, causation and prognosis, with the sensitivity this area demands.
