Perinatal Mental Health

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers most aspects of the recognition, treatment, care and management of postnatal depression and examines the way in which it affects mothers, their families, infants and society as a whole. It discusses the factors that impact and impinge on mothers' lives and how they are expected to deal with them including risk factors.

Cultural aspects and how mothers may shield their families and friends from the morays of their depression, or as they see it, their inability to cope with their infant and life in general is covered. It examines how postnatal depression is detected using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) with discussion around the controversial issues its use has raised. Clinical judgement is paramount - not necessarily the remit of the GP, but where nurses can undertake the responsibility of "diagnosis". Treatments - pharmacological, behavioural, complementary etc are discussed as is the affect depressed mothers have on their partners and the effect of fathers experiencing "postnatal depression".
