Depression During Pregnancy and the Postpartum

Marley Doyle, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry

1 in 7 women experience depression during the perinatal period. There has been an effort to increase awareness during the postpartum period, but the majority of women with postpartum depression contend that symptoms began in pregnancy. Current screening recommendations state that all women should be screened at least once during the perinatal period, but often this screening is not done until the six-weeks postpartum visit. In this presentation, we will explore the importance of diagnosing depression during pregnancy and examine its impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

This activity is going to be rescheduled at a later date.
