Description
Multiple responsibilities, systemic discrimination, poor societal support, and a pandemic to boot - it's no secret that American women are experiencing record levels of stress, and they're bringing it to your office.
Do you want to be more effective at helping women in their moments of distress? Join Dr. Lulu Zhao, MD, a board-certified ObGyn fellowship trained in women's mental health to discuss practical tips for managing mental health disorders common in the ObGyn office, top medication prescribing mistakes to avoid, and strategies to help your patients connect to the information and care they need.
We discuss how to practice using validated screening tools to identify perinatal mood disorders, recognizing how mood disorders may present in marginalized or traumatized populations, how to counsel patients about common concerns in the use of psychotropic medications, how to choose medications that effectively treat common mental health conditions, and how to integrate existing resources into your clinical toolbox to optimize time management
