Pregnant women are HALF as likely to be receiving treatment for mood disorders. Women during the perinatal period have different risk factors for suicide than the general population. This matters!

Knowing the risk factors and talking to your health professional during pregnancy (or ideally before!) can be a life saver when faced with the possibility of prenatal depression or anxiety. There's no shame in doing whats best for you and baby! #PMAD #PPD nytimes.com/2019/04/30/par…

Proud that a paper I coauthored (an RCT of HRT as a preventative intervention for perimenopausal-onset depression) was the #3 attention-getting paper out of JAMA Psychiatry in 2018! Congrats to senior author (and my mentor/PI) Susan Girdler! UNC Women's Mood

There is a myth that pregnancy is somehow protective against mental health issues, this is simply not true. A history of anxiety or mood disorders increases risk, which is why it's important to talk with your doctor about treatment options. #MomsNeedToKnow Marce of North America

Researchers have found higher rates of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) during the perinatal period. Sharing these symptoms with your doctor is important. Since women who have perinatal OCD do not always feel depressed, these symptoms may go undiagnosed. #MomsNeedToKnow

Despite perinatal depression being common and having significant negative impacts, over half of women with this condition are currently not being identified and 85% are not receiving care. Read more about the challenges and opportunities in NCMJ ncmedicaljournal.com/content/81/1/4…
