Intolerance of Uncertainty and Mood, Anxiety, and OC Disorders during Pregnancy and the Postpartum

We used self-report and behavioral measures to examine the relationship between Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU), a putative transdiagnostic mechanism, and psychopathology during the perinatal period. Self-reported IU was associated with self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and OCD; however, behavioral indices of IU were only associated with self-reported symptoms of OCD.
