Case Studies in Reproductive Psychiatry provides a comprehensive review of current research on Premenstrual Mood Disorders, Pregnancy and Lactation, and Perimenopause and Postmenopause following a woman’s reproductive lifespan. The book takes a unique approach by combining current research literature with a collection of case studies of women with different types of psychiatric disorders in various reproductive stages. Case studies include women with psychiatric disorders who are planning for pregnancy, pregnant women with psychiatric disorders, women with postpartum psychiatric disorders, and those with premenstrual or perimenopausal mood disorder. By combining current literature and case studies, this book reinforces the comprehension of foundational research ultimately leading to better treatment options for women undergoing psychiatric disorders.
