Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, bipolar, psychosis) are estimated to impact 15-20% of people who give birth and up to 10% of non-birthing partners. As naturopathic physicians we will see these patients in our practice, especially if specialty is womens' health, and it is important to improve our education so that we can improve awareness and decrease stigma of perinatal mental health issues. This presentation will include risk factors for, symptoms of, and evidenced- based management of PMADS, and resources for obtaining training and referrals for practicing NMDs.
