In Pregnancy

Many pregnant women suffer from mental health conditions while pregnant. As providers and patients make decisions about risks of the conditions and treatments during pregnancy, information to populate those discussions is needed. Taking into account the physiologic changes in pregnancy, we may need to optimize medication therapy. This article reviews and summarizes some of the most common mental health conditions suffered in pregnancy: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and psychosis. It further discusses the different medications used to treat them, as well as risks associated with these medications.

Mental Health Conditions

Parenthood can be more challenging when a parent experiences serious mental health problems, which can negatively affect family life and children’s emotional, social, and behavioral development. Parental distress and mental health problems increase the risk of mental health problems in children and adolescents. Data suggest that well over half of service users with psychosis or psychiatric disorder are also parents. This chapter focuses on research into mental health difficulties in the perinatal period and parenting with psychosis and with bipolar disorder. To date, promising outcomes have been found for initial trials investigating the delivery of parenting support to parents with serious mental health conditions, particularly bipolar disorder, but empirical work is limited. The chapter identifies priority areas for research to refine approaches to parenting support to best suit different mental health conditions and contexts.

AbstractProsthetic joint infections (PJIs) after primary total hip arthroplasty (pTHA) are known to have a profound impact on patients' pain and function. However, there is little evidence on the association between PJIs and mental health in pTHA and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of mental health conditions among patients undergoing (1) pTHA, (2) septic rTHA, and (3) aseptic rTHA. All THAs performed between 2005 and 2014 were queried using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases. This yielded 468,663 patients. Patients were separated into the following cohorts based on procedure: primary, septic revision, and aseptic revision. Diagnoses of any mental health condition as well as the following specific conditions were compared among the three cohorts: schizophrenia/delusion, bipolar disorder, depression/mood disorder, personality disorder, anxiety/somatic/dissociative disorder, eating disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder/conduct/impulse control, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse. Univariate analysis was performed to assess differences and trends in mental health conditions among the three cohorts. The prevalence of mental health conditions overall in rTHA patients increased throughout the study period. There was a significantly higher prevalence of mental health conditions overall among patients in the septic rTHA cohort (n = 1,818, 28.0%) compared with the pTHA (n = 81,616, 19.2%; p < 0.001), and aseptic rTHA (n = 7,594, 20.9%; p < 0.001) cohorts. Specifically, septic rTHA patients had a higher prevalence of schizophrenia (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), bipolar disorder (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), depression (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), personality disorders (p = 0.0015; p = 0.013), anxiety (p < 0.001; p = 0.0055), eating disorders (p < 0.001; p = 0.006), alcohol abuse (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), and drug abuse (p < 0.001; p < 0.001) compared with primary THA and aseptic rTHA, respectively. Overall, rates of mental health conditions were significantly higher among septic rTHA patients. Alcohol and drug abuse were approximately twice as prevalent among patients undergoing rTHA for infection compared with primary or aseptic rTHA patients. The level of evidence of the study is level III.

BACKGROUND Many people are affected by mental health conditions, yet its prevalence in certain populations are not well documented. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to describe the attributes of people with mental health conditions in U.S and SG in terms of: perception of mental health recovery and its correlates such as strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience. With the findings, not only could the knowledge base for mental health recovery in both countries be enhanced but interventions and policies relating to self-efficacy, resourcefulness and de-stigmatization for mental health recovery could be informed. METHODS A A cross-sectional, descriptive study with convenience sample of 200 community dwelling adults were selected, 100 pax from the United States (U.S) and 100 pax from Singapore (SG). Adults with serious mental illnesses without substance abuse impacting on their recovery were recruited. Participants completed self-administered questionaires measuring their mental health recovery, strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience. RESULTS This study offered the unique opportunity to examine mental health recovery as well as its correlates such as strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience from both the United States and Singapore. While the perception of mental health recovery and positive attributes like strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness remained strong in participants with serious mental illnesses across both countries, people with serious mental illnesses in both countries still experienced negative perception like stigma. The findings would not only inform strategies to promote mental health recovery but also enhance the focus on correlates such as strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness across both countries. CONCLUSIONS The findings would not only inform strategies to promote mental health recovery but also enhance the focus on correlates such as strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness across both countries.
