MD Edge ObGyn (8/26, Craven) reports, “Pregnancy and the postpartum period are a ‘very vulnerable time for mental disorders,’ according to” a presentation given by Henry A. Nasrallah, MD, of the University of Cincinnati, at “a virtual meeting presented by Current Psychiatry and the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists.” During the perinatal period, women are at particular “risk for depression and anxiety. Women are also at risk for postpartum depression, particularly women with bipolar disorder, Dr. Nasrallah said.”
