Postpartum Mental Health Disorders: A Casebook

Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry Committee on Gender and Mental Health, Gail Erlick Robinson, Carol C. Nadelson, and Gisele Apter

Abstract

Postpartum Mental Health Disorders: A Casebook describes the recognition and management of psychiatric disorders that present in the postpartum period. Case vignettes illustrate the type of complaints that may present to the psychiatrist, primary care physician, obstetrician, nurse practitioner, doula, or other health care professionals. Chapters cover depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, posttraumatic stress disorders, personality disorders, and drug abuse. Each chapter includes information about differential and provisional diagnoses, epidemiology, treatment, and prognosis with advice as to when to refer to a specialist. More general chapters address risk factors for developing postpartum disorders, prevention, and the uses and safety of psychotropic medication during breastfeeding. Two frequently used screening questionnaires are included with instructions as to use. Some key references or links are included.
