Women’s Mental Health & Reproductive Psychiatry

REPRODUCTIVE CHANGE

During times of reproductive change, women often experience unique stress that may exacerbate underlying mental health conditions. Some struggle with irritability and mood swings in the premenstrual phases. Others may need advice about how to handle mental health care during pregnancy and nursing, including medication management and psychotherapy. For women struggling to conceive, fertility treatment can be extremely stressful both for the individual and the marriage. Women transitioning through menopause also may need special support. Dr. Land has specialized training and experience to care for women and their partners to allow them to flourish even during these challenging seasons.
