{"title":"Acute Onset or Worsening of Psychiatric Symptoms Following Breastfeeding Cessation: An Illustrative Case and Literature Review.","authors":"Katherine A Meidl, Bailey N Brooks, Stacey A Pawlak, Melissa B Ludgate","doi":"10.1016/j.jaclp.2024.10.001","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.jaclp.2024.10.001","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Breastfeeding shares a complex, occasionally contradictory relationship with maternal mental health. Both positive and negative mood impacts have been noted in relation to breastfeeding initiation as well as cessation. Though popular magazines and online forums discuss the onset of psychiatric symptoms following weaning, there is limited medical literature detailing this relationship.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To increase awareness regarding psychiatric symptom development in the context of breastfeeding cessation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We describe the case of a patient who developed psychiatric symptoms shortly after weaning, including acute-onset insomnia and worsening anxiety. A literature review of psychiatric symptom development following breastfeeding cessation was conducted using the search engines PubMed, PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), and Embase. Search terms included controlled vocabulary, keywords (within title and abstract fields), synonyms, and related concepts for postpartum period, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, breastfeeding cessation, breastfeeding weaning, lactation, dysphoric milk ejection reflex, and insomnia. Relevant case reports were reviewed and compared to this case. Information including the patient's age, psychiatric symptoms, past psychiatric history, medical workup, treatment, and outcome was extracted from each article.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Nine patients who developed psychiatric symptoms following breastfeeding cessation were identified in six case reports. Three patients experienced recurrent symptoms in multiple pregnancies. This led to documentation of 13 discrete postweaning syndromes. All cases involved either first-time parents, those new to breastfeeding, or those experiencing symptoms during multiple weaning periods. Synthesizes data from the article review. As with our case, 11 clinical cases describe sleep changes (primarily insomnia) and 4 discuss anxiety symptoms. Treatment varied based upon symptoms experienced, with no consistently effective treatments identified across cases.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This case of unspecified insomnia and anxiety disorders following abrupt weaning adds to the limited literature in the field and suggests that physiologic and psychologic factors associated with breastfeeding cessation may play a role in the development or worsening of postpartum mood disorders. Intensive psychiatric treatment resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms. The relationship between weaning and psychiatric disorders is evident in the lay press but is underrepresented in medical literature. Additional research is needed to better understand this relationship so that physicians can counsel, diagnose, and treat patients more effectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":52388,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142480447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As US hospitals face an increased demand for mental health services, interest in the MPU model is gaining momentum. However, there is no shared definition for what constitutes an MPU, and significant variation exists among units across the United States that have been designated as an MPU. The lack of a unified definition for MPUs results in significant variability and poses challenges for creating new MPUs and studying existing MPUs. To address this gap, the Medical-Psychiatry Unit Consortium recruited a panel of MPU experts to conduct a consensus study. The consortium used a survey to assess the relative importance of various characteristics of MPUs within the following categories: structural organization, environment and design, spectrum of care, staffing, and culture of care. After two rounds of a modified Delphi process, consensus was achieved with regard to which characteristics are necessary or preferred vs. not necessary or harmful. The necessary or preferred characteristics include those that would be expected on a general medical unit, such as having cardiac telemetry monitoring capabilities, as well as characteristics typical of a psychiatric unit, such as locked unit doors, locked cabinets for patient belongings, and common area or milieu. Overall, this suggests that an ideal MPU combines the ability to provide acute medical care with acute psychiatric care. Notably, staffing and culture of care emerged as categories with the highest ranking of necessary characteristics, outweighing environment, design, or the breadth of services offered. These findings suggest that MPU experts feel teamwork and having a shared mission are critical components of effective MPUs and highlight the importance of staff recruitment and training.</p>","PeriodicalId":52388,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
