Mental health conditions, including deaths to suicide and overdose/poisoning related to substance use disorder, are the leading underlying cause of pregnancy-related deaths at 23%, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Another set of data explains why this is an important and necessary development: pregnancy-related deaths.
“We initially started about two years ago. It’s very new, but we realized quickly that it’s very needed in our patient population,” said Katie Orr, a women’s health nurse practitioner for UAB. She also has aand counsels and treats pregnant women and new moms with depression and anxiety in UAB’s Perinatal Mental Health Clinic.
Orr said most cases of postpartum depression require medication, but up until recently, the only specific treatment had to be administered through an IV and in a hospital setting. Orr says the other, more common course of treatment are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors , like Zoloft or Prozac.
