Abstract
Both syndromic and subsyndromal episodes of psychiatric disorders are common during and after pregnancy and are associated with adverse consequences for the mother and her baby. Despite remarkable opportunities for the detection of at-risk women, the prevention and treatment of peripartum recurrences of psychiatric disorders remain a challenge for physicians, and allied professionals This brief report discusses the importance of subsyndromal symptoms and offers suggestions to improve the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of perinatal psychiatric disorders.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Women’s Mental Health is the official journal of the International Association for Women''s Mental Health, Marcé Society and the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG). The exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynecologists is one of the major aims of the journal. Its international scope includes psychodynamics, social and biological aspects of all psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women. The editors especially welcome interdisciplinary studies, focussing on the interface between psychiatry, psychosomatics, obstetrics and gynecology. Archives of Women’s Mental Health publishes rigorously reviewed research papers, short communications, case reports, review articles, invited editorials, historical perspectives, book reviews, letters to the editor, as well as conference abstracts. Only contributions written in English will be accepted. The journal assists clinicians, teachers and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women’s mental health into current and future clinical care and research.
