Symposium on Reproductive Mental Health
Mental health issues may occur as consequences of reproductive health events or may be exaggerated by them. For a long time, mental illnesses in reproductive period were mostly focused on postpartum depression, but in recent years focus has been expanding to the other conditions, as well as to the parts of reproductive period other than pregnancy and postpartum. Even though extensive research has been done in this field, still sometimes there is a lack between research and practice, and some of the mental health problems usually remain unrecognised and neglected in obstetric or gynaecological setting. The symposium will focus on several aspects of mental health in different periods of reproductive age: from preparation for pregnancy and dealing with infertility, across the pregnancy and postpartum, until perimenopause. The first presentation is on emotional adjustment in couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment (Ajduković et al.). Then presentations dealing with childbirth are presented: a validation of questionnaire measuring fear of childbirth in pregnancy (Žigić et al.), experiences of Yemeni women in high maternal mortality setting (Kempe et al.), and experiences of parents of premature baby in the UK (Sawyer et al.). Depression in peripartum is the topic of two further presentations dealing with changes in the structure and intensity of depression symptoms from pregnancy to postpartum (Čuržik et al.) and choosing between pregnancy or early postpartum as a better screening time point for postpartum depression (Nakić et al.). Then, we pass on to the part of prevention and help in postpartum period. Review of the postpartum mental health websites is offered (Moore), as well as presentations of psycho-education programme for all new parents with infants as primary prevention in Australia (Rowe et al.) and new support programme in the UK for the first time parents who are struggling with different issues (Barnes). Finally, we move on far beyond postparum, to the experience of perimenopausal distress in pre- and early perimenopausal women (Muslić et al.). Authors come from different countries and even continents so we believe this symposium will be a perfect opportunity for exchanging ideas, as well as making new collaborations. Also, we hope this symposium will strenghten Croatian research in the field of reproductive mental health and raise awareness of the psychosocial aspects of the obstetrics and gynaecology which is still neglected in Croatia.
