The tragedy of Daksha's death illustrates both the importance of perinatal mental health and the stigma associated with doctors seeking help. With this letter, we express our hope that the lasting legacy of her and others' tragic stories lies in the continuing improvement and worldwide expansion of perinatal psychiatric services and training so that those in greatest need receive the best care possible wherever - and whoever - they are.
