The relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and postpregnancy mental health disorders has been inconsistently reported. Additionally, race/ethnicity data are limited. We sought to elucidate the intersection of these relationships.We analyzed 18,109 women aged 18-40 with self-reported race/ethnicity. Women with (n = 659) and without (n = 14,461) GDM were followed for a median of 4.4 (interquartile range 1.4-6.8) and 4.0 (1.5-6.4) years, respectively, for incident mental health disorders. Multivariable repeated measures analyses were conducted to examine associations between GDM and postpregnancy mental health disorders, race/ethnicity, and the interaction of these factors.Women with compared to women without GDM were older (mean ± standard deviation, 32 ± 5 vs. 30 ± 5 years; P < .001) and had higher body mass index (29.0 ± 7.2 vs. 25.3 ± 5.2 kg/m(2) ; P < .001). GDM was associated with increased risk for depression and anxiety after adjusting for age and pregnancy complications; however, loss of significance in the fully adjusted model for depression (odds ratio [95
