PY - 2019 T2 - OB/GYN Hospital Medicine: Principles and Practice AB - Pregnancy is a period of social, physiologic, hormonal, and psychological change that affects all aspects of a woman's life. These changes, especially when accompanied by overlying preexisting risk factors for psychiatric illness, are all triggers for a first episode, recurrence, or worsening of a behavioral or mental health problem. The data on the management and treatment of psychiatric disorders in pregnancy is both highly variable and highly controversial. A large population–based study of pregnant women in Sweden reported that the point-prevalence of any psychiatric diagnosis was 14.1%, and in the United States, it is likely higher and, data suggests, continuing to rise.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159983989 ER -
