Learning Objectives
At the end of this workshop you will be able to:
1) Assess perinatal mood disorders.
2) Differentially diagnose prenatal and postpartum depression, anxiety, panic,bipolar disorder, and psychosis.
3) Assess prenatal and postpartum risk factors.
4) Develop psychosocial and self-help support and treatment plans.
5) State appropriate psychotherapy techniques.
6) Discuss psychopharmacology as it relates to pregnancy and postpartum treatment.

Outcomes
1) Increase awareness of the importance of mental health screening in primary care practice sites. Increased exposure to training may help to reduce stigma, and reluctance to screen. Improve patient outcomes by making treatment available in areas of Eastern Kentucky where psychiatric services are few, and access to treatment is very limited.
2) Many studies show that depressed mothers are not able to meet the emotional development needs of young children. Treating maternal depression can be expected to improve infant and child emotional development.
