Synopsis

'Having a basic understanding of what to look for when encountering Perinatal OCD during pregnancy and their postnatal will make the difference between someone suffering silently for years, and someone receiving timely treatment for a condition that can be treated fully.'

Written with clinicians and frontline workers in mind but equally accessible to those with perinatal OCD and their families, you can improve your knowledge and understanding of this often misunderstood condition. Every facet of perinatal OCD and the many factors that can influence it are considered. From the concept of being the 'ideal mother' through to the neuroscientific and psychological underpinnings of defining what perinatal OCD is, informs this book's robust clinical recommendations. Practical advice on how to best choose from a wide range of interventions including CBT, art therapy and family therapy will fully prepare you when working with pregnant or postnatal women. Calling for expedient diagnosis and treatment to be delivered with empathy and compassion, families and those experiencing perinatal OCD will also benefit from this deeper understanding, Dr Jayarajah also discusses the important topic of safe prescribing, giving guidance on the use of medication in pregnancy and breastfeeding, for treatment of OCD.
