Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders I: Diagnosis & risk factors

United Kingdom · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are among the most common complications of the perinatal period and can significantly affect both maternal wellbeing and infant development. In this foundational talk, Clinical Psychologist Joanne offers a clear and clinically grounded overview of the various perinatal psychological conditions that can emerge during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychosis.

Joanne explores the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria relevant to each condition and presents vivid clinical examples to illustrate how these issues may manifest in diverse caregiving contexts. The talk also highlights the key biopsychosocial risk factors - originating in the parent, the infant, and the environment that contribute to the development of perinatal disorders.

This session is Part I of a two-part series. Part II focuses on therapeutic interventions and the implications of PMADs on early attachment relationships
