Are you prepared? Are you screening for risk factors? Are you assessing symptoms? Do you know the statistics? Would you recognize perinatal psychosis when you see it? And would you know what to do?

Ask yourself, “What kind of training have I had in working with individuals with Perinatal Psychosis?”. Most graduate training programs do not offer any curriculum in Perinatal Mental Health. And if they do, there may be one line about psychosis. Maybe, if you were lucky, and you had any training at all, you learned that it is rare and it is an emergency.

But do you know who is at risk? Have you had training that includes the risk factors for perinatal psychosis? Can you name any psychotic symptom? Would you recognize it if you saw it in your office? Would you be able to ask someone about psychotic symptoms, or are you too nervous? Afraid you will stumble over your words? Afraid you will insult someone? Do you know how to tell the difference between intrusive thoughts and hallucinations?

If you are a mental health provider working with parents or anyone of reproductive age, you need to know more. It is true that perinatal psychosis happens in only 1-2 per 1000 births. While it is the least common of all the perinatal mental health disorders it is the most serious because it involves a complete break from reality which leads to an increased risk of su***de and infanticide. It is succinctly- A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

If you are working with this population, it is your professional responsibility to have competence in treating this population and that includes training in screening, treating, and PREVENTING Perinatal Psychosis.

We cover this and more, In our Foundations of Perinatal Mental Health Course.

🫂 Early attachment and infant development through a trauma-informed lens
💙 Embodied Grief Theory as a framework for understanding reproductive loss

07/25/2026

The ongoing estrogen patch shortage has left many women scrambling to refill prescriptions, calling multiple pharmacies, or wondering what to do next. Manufacturing and supply chain disruptions have made certain doses difficult to obtain, creating unnecessary stress for people who rely on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage menopause symptoms and perimenopause.

If you've been feeling frustrated, anxious, or even scared, your feelings are valid. During perimenopause and menopause, hormone fluctuations can already affect mood, sleep, concentration, and emotional well-being. An interruption in estrogen treatment may leave some women noticing an increase in menopause anxiety, menopause depression, hot flashes, brain fog, irritability, or disrupted sleep. While every person's experience is different, the uncertainty of not knowing if you'll be able to access your medication can be emotionally exhausting.

Mind the Patch. 💛

If you're affected by the estrogen patch shortage, there are things you can do. But first, don't stop your HRT on your own. Instead, contact your healthcare provider to discuss your options. They may be able to recommend another dose, formulation, or treatment plan that meets your individual needs.
