Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) are the most common, yet under-diagnosed and undertreated complication of pregnancy, affecting up to 50% of pregnant and parenting teens. PMAD are a global health issue that can have devastating effects on the mental, physical, emotional, developmental health, and social life of the mother, infant, and family. Adolescents present with similar symptoms of PMAD as their adult counterparts, but also experience isolation from their peer group and lack of resources and coping strategies, as well as difficulty sleeping and lack of concentration and ability to focus. Nurses and nurse practitioners are in an ideal position to assess preexisting risk factors for PMAD. The current applied evidence-based article addresses the diagnosis of PMAD, provides a conceptual framework for understanding the intra- and interpersonal dynamics affecting teens with PMAD, and suggests a new screening tool to guide diagnosis. An easy to recall mnemonic for diagnosis and referral (SAIL AHEAD) is proposed. By using the SAIL AHEAD mnemonic, providers will impact adolescents' parenting success and resiliency, thereby enhancing their future success in life.

Evaluating Bias-Mitigated Predictive Models of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders.
JAMA Netw Open
December 2024
Department of Computational Biomedicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California.
Article Synopsis
- Machine learning is used to improve the screening of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), highlighting the need to address biases in electronic health records (EHRs) that can affect predictive models.
- The study took place from 2020 to 2023 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and included birthing patients aged 14 to 59 who had recent births.
- Multiple machine learning models were assessed for their ability to predict PMAD risks, focusing on fairness and accuracy, specifically comparing outcomes across different racial and ethnic groups.
Mental health impacts of climate change and extreme weather events on mothers.

The perinatal period is a time of increased vulnerability for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Emotional trauma is a risk factor for PMAD development and is common among survivors of extreme weather events (EWEs), which are becoming more frequent and intense as the climate crisis progresses. EWE-related stress and anxiety have not been extensively studied in the perinatal population.

Department of Biomedical and Clinical Science "Luigi Sacco", University of Milan, Italy.
Background: Laparoscopy is considered the best surgical approach for Crohn's Disease (CD), and strictureplasty a reliable alternative to intestinal resection. Nevertheless, their association has never been evaluated.
Aim: To investigate feasibility and safety of conventional (SP) and non-conventional (NCSP) strictureplasties, using laparoscopy, for complicated CD.
Impact of Postpartum Mental Illness Upon Infant Development.

November 2017
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Young Child Clinic, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, 3440 Market Street, Suite 410, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review evaluates the state of the research regarding the effects of postpartum mental illness on the developing infant. It defines the scope of these disorders in the literature, and includes the impact of disorders referred to as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) on infants.
Recent Findings: New research reveals that PMADs apply to not only mothers, but that fathers can also experience perinatal depression and anxiety.
