The Textbook of Women's Reproductive Mental Health is the first definitive guide to understanding, diagnosing, and treating the unique mental health needs of women and others who undergo female reproductive transitions during their reproductive lives. For the first time, dozens of reproductive psychiatrists, obstetrician-gynecologists, and other women's health specialists come together to provide real-world insights into the mental, emotional, and behavioral disturbances related to female reproductive stages—how these disorders present themselves, the underlying causes of specific conditions, and the latest evidence-based guidance for treatment.A must-read for practitioners, researchers, and academics, this unmatched resource uses informative illustrations and a quick-reference format to put authoritative coverage at your fingertips. Look inside for the latest information, case examples, and hands-on tools to illuminate and support women's mental health. It covers the entire reproductive life cycle—including gynecological conditions, premenstrual mood syndromes, sexual health, contraception, infertility and loss, and perimenopause and pregnancy and the postpartum period—including stress in pregnancy and attachment, the most prevalent disorders during the perinatal period, and psychiatric emergencies.More than 50% of psychiatric patients are women, more than 80% of women experience at least one pregnancy, and nearly all women menstruate and go through menopause. Now, the reproductive process and its impact on women's mental health can be more completely understood with the Textbook of Women's Reproductive Mental Health.
