Healio (1/26, Gavel) reports, “Tulsie Patel, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist with Talkiatry in New York City,” who “has experience in medication management, individual and group therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation,” discussed “common mental health impacts of miscarriage.” Dr. Patel said, “Miscarriage can be incredibly traumatic for a woman,” and “as such, it is likely that many women will experience severe distress, grief and even symptoms of depression and anxiety.” She added, “It is important to note that their symptoms may persist or worsen and develop into a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, PTSD or anxiety disorder.” Dr. Patel then went on to say treatment of such issues is dependent upon the patient’s symptoms, and “may range from listening and offering support to therapy or even medication management.”
