Abstract
Perinatal mood disorders (PMD) encompass a variety of psychiatric
disorders, ranging from
anxiety and depression to psychosis, which may manifest during
pregnancy and the first year
postpartum. These disorders can have a devastating effect on the
mother, infant and family;
therefore, it is important to screen women for these problems and
to provide adequate treatment.
Obstetrician-gynecologists are in a key position to identify women
in need of psychological care
because of the frequent interaction they have with women during
pregnancy and postpartum.
This study explored the screening and treatment practices of PMD
among obstetrician-
gynecologists in Georgia through the employment of an anonymous,
web-based survey. The data
collected provided a preliminary view of the status of screening
and treatment of PMD among
obstetrician-gynecologists and the need for better resources and
training. Further assessment is
needed to appropriately make any conclusive statements regarding
the screening and treatment
practices of obstetrician-gynecologists in Georgia concerning
PMD.
