This fully revised second edition presents up-to-date information on currently available scientific evidence, expert opinions, and practical recommendations on the use of psychotropic drugs, as well as pharmacological and biological treatments in the field of perinatal psychiatry. In addition to the social context, many women experience the occurrence or recurrence of psychiatric disorders during the perinatal period. Psychiatric disorders during this period can have negative effects on the fetus, infant, and other children in the family, and can result in functional impairment in mothers.
The book offers a comprehensive overview of psychopharmacological treatments for nearly all specific psychiatric conditions and includes, besides chapters on antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, benzodiazepines, and Z-drugs, a new chapter on other available drugs. An additional chapter discusses electroconvulsive therapy and other biological therapies. In the last chapter, the psychopharmacologic treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum is described.
The book will appeal to a wide readership, including psychiatrists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and paediatricians.
