Brandes 2004
![Page 56: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

unreasonable– Causes distress
![Page 57: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Postpartum Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Intrusive thoughts– May be seen with depression– Intrusive, ego-dystonic thoughts– Often violent thoughts of harm to child
• Avoidant behaviors to avoid harm
– Often contamination fears– Usually not associated with compulsions
![Page 58: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Postpartum Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Peak onset 2 weeks
• Screening question– “It’s not uncommon for new mothers to
experience intrusive, unwanted thoughts that they might harm their baby. Have any such thoughts occurred to you?”
• Rule out psychosis or extreme anxiety
![Page 59: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Postpartum Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Treatment– Reassurance– Cognitive behavioral therapy– Family therapy– SSRIs
• No specific data• Require higher doses
![Page 60: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Take Home Points
• Depression in pregnancy is common• Untreated depression in pregnancy carries risks
for both the mother and the child• No antidepressants are FDA approved in
pregnancy– But sertraline is generally agreed to be “safest”
• Must weigh risks and benefits with the mother (and partner) on an individual basis
![Page 61: Mood Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b6708c4a79598d358b472e/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Take Home Points
• SSRIs may be associated with malformations, PPHN, and a neonatal syndrome.
• SSRIs are “safe” in breastfeeding– Sertraline and paroxetine probably safest
