The management of mental health problems is a core component of maternity care. Pregnancy and childbirth may be accompanied by recurrence of pre-existing psychiatric problems, and conditions such as postnatal depression and puerperal psychosis may arise following delivery. Correct management of these problems is essential for both the mother and the developing infant.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of mental health problems associated with pregnancy and the year after delivery. Key topics covered include:
Issues for children and families.
Screening for and prevention of mental disorders in relation to childbirth.
Prescribing in pregnancy and lactation.
Transcultural issues.
Readership: An essential text for trainees in perinatal psychiatry, this book is also aimed at general adult psychiatrists with an interest in the field. It is also a useful resource for nurses, psychologists, obstetricians, midwives and health visitors.
About the authors: Carol Henshaw has been President of the Marcé Society, a scientific society devoted to mental illness related to childbearing. She currently sits on the Executive Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Perinatal Section. John Cox has held the positions of President of the Marcé Society, Secretary General of the World Psychiatric Association and President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. A developer of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, he has over 30 years of clinical and research experience in perinatal psychiatry. Joanne Barton provides psychiatric input to a community-based child and adolescent mental health service. Her day-to-day work with children, young people and their families is a constant reminder of the importance of parental mental health to the well-being and development of children.
