NMID 733 Reproductive & Perinatal Psychiatric Illness: Advanced Evaluation & Management

Credits: 3
This course, which builds upon foundational core content for advanced practice nursing and midwifery students, is an in-depth exploration of the bio-psycho-social-cultural contributors to wellbeing and psychiatric illness in reproductive-age women. Screening, assessment and diagnostic approaches for common and complex mental health symptoms are applied to differentiate illness from normative/healthy/adaptive responses to events and experiences ranging from menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation, to infertility, perinatal loss, motherhood and perimenopause. The treatment planning process is deconstructed and applied to various psychiatric presentations. The range of effective behavioral, integrative, and medical interventions are appraised through case-based learning, and the essential components of interdisciplinary collaboration, consultation, and referral are incorporated.
