Description
Up to 20% of women experience mood disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period; many are undiagnosed and untreated. The consequences of untreated maternal illness can include low birth weight and preterm labor, chronic depression and relapse, relationship discord, cognitive and developmental delays in the infant, childhood mood disturbance, and potentially suicide and infanticide.
We will cover risk factors and prenatal and postpartum screening. We will learn to differentiate between depression/anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, and psychosis as seen in pregnancy and postpartum period. Treatment modalities and specific techniques will be discussed as they relate to perinatal mood disorders, specifically: interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and group psychotherapy. Psychopharmacological treatment, in particular during pregnancy and nursing, will be reviewed. You will learn about resources available for pregnant and postpartum women and families.
