Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It takes a comprehensive look at the
issues surrounding mental illness and pregnancy. Describing common disorders and their relationship with pregnancy, it promotes an understanding
of the issues involved and offers tools to providing the most effective woman-centred maternity care. All health professionals concerned
with the wellbeing of the pregnant woman will find invaluable help and guidance in this book. Given the identification of mental health
problems as a leading cause of maternal death (CEMD 2001), this is an essential guide to the effects of pregnancy and childbirth on women
and families coping with mental illness.
