You have 15 minutes. And you’re not entirely sure.

That’s exactly why we built this course:

Mood Disorders in Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Breastfeeding – A Carlat Review Course

Not to oversimplify the complexity. But to give you the frameworks to navigate it—with clarity, confidence, and care.

Here’s what this course helps you do:

From Uncertainty to Clinical Clarity 

→ Distinguish baby blues from postpartum depression—and from postpartum psychosis 

→ Know when an Edinburgh score signals more than sadness 

→ Recognize bipolar disorder before prescribing antidepressants

From Guidelines to Real-World Decisions 

→ Understand which antidepressants are truly safe—and which just seem that way 

→ Navigate the lithium conversation when both lives are on the line 

→ Apply substance use protocols that support healing, not punishmentFrom Reactive to Prepared 

→ Identify postpartum psychosis before it escalates 

→ Assess capacity in high-stakes moments 

→ Manage legal and ethical risk with sound clinical judgment

There’s no algorithm for trust between a clinician and a terrified new mother.

But there are evidence-based strategies that honor both the science and the stakes.

This course brings together leaders in the field—featuring insights from Victoria Hendrick and protocols used at Yale and UCLA.
