Episode Details

Today we have the third and final episode on reproductive psychiatry where I will be discussing relative safety of antidepressants as well as some other psychiatric medications with breastfeeding. I will also go over the relatively new L1-L5 rating system. In addition I'll talk about benefits of breastfeeding for baby and mom, and tell you what I tell mom's when they are deciding what to do about breastfeeding, their mental health, and taking medications. This is the final episode on reproductive psychiatry for antidepressants, however I will have an installment when I go over each other category of medication in subsequent seasons. I hope you enjoy!
