Download or read book Handbook of Lithium Therapy written by F.N. Johnson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a medical student in the 1930s, I remember well that a very clear line of distinction was drawn between physical illness and mental illness. Physical illness resulted from pathology which could be identified and studied in detail and the cause could often be deduced. Treatment thus was often specific and based upon a proper appreciation of underlying basic science. Mental illness, on the other hand, could not, it was believed, be based upon identifiable changes in basic science. It was literally 'all in the mind' and, occurring in the absence of causes that could be identified, analysed and remedied, had no treatment that could in any way be called specific. N ow it is all too easy, in Medicine, for a doctor to become so immersed in a specialty that he fails to notice how his colleagues in other specialties are faring and, through laziness, to miss advances even of fundamental importance in fields other than those in which he himself works. As a consultant surgeon, after W orId War II, although I realized the importance of keeping in touch with those medical specialties which appeared to have a common interface with my own surgical interests, such as general medi cine, gastro-enterology, hepatology and endocrinology, it did not occur to me that there was any pressing need to ask what was new in Psychological Medicine.

Download or read book Bipolar Disorder During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary The aim of this thesis was to study the course of bipolar disorder (BD) in pregnant women and the influence of sleep during pregnancy and the peripartum period on the development of postpartum mood symptoms. Importantly, we also wanted to explore considerations of women with BD about family planning and pregnancy. Main findings What are thoughts and considerations of women with bipolar disorder about family planning and pregnancy? A qualitative study of 15 childless women with BD I revealed that they worried about heritability of BD, had questions about medication use during pregnancy, and were fearful of recurrence of a mood episode during pregnancy or postpartum. In addition, these women feared to be incompetent as a mother during future mood episodes and mentioned that support of their partner, social network, and mental health providers is essential. What is the impact of medication on the course of BD in pregnant women? One of the conclusions of our systematic review about the impact of continuing maintenance medication on the recurrence of mood disorders during pregnancy is that the 22 included studies reported a wide range in the recurrence rate of BD and major depressive disorder, from 4 to73%. Another conclusion is that maintenance pharmacotherapy during pregnancy in women with mood disorders significantly reduced the risk of recurrence (66% in BD and 54% in major depressive disorder). What is the effect of perinatal sleep disturbance on postpartum mood in women with BD? The study protocol of the Sleepreg-bd study is described. Mood and sleep was monitored during weeks 26, 38, 39, and 40 of pregnancy, the first four weeks postpartum, and finally in week 12 postpartum. Assessments consisted of self-report questionnaires and objective (actigraphy) and subjective (diary) sleep measures.
