Psychotropics, Developing Fetus and Prenatal Attachment - Audio CD

"Psychotropics, Developing Fetus and Prenatal Attachment" by Dr. Pratibha Reebye.

Human fetus is highly resilient and can withstand many intrauterine insults. Generally, teratogenicity induced by toxins on human fetus is taken very seriously. However, behavioral teratogenicity induced by maternal emotional disorders and psychotropic agents that are used to treat them is not appreciated fully. This presentation provides an overview of the spectrum of difficulties faced by the developing fetus whether maternal emotional disorders are treated with psychotropic medications or not. The presentation will tie prenatal attachment in depressed and/or anxious expectant mothers that can be influenced in turn by the use of psychotropics and alteration in maternal humoral axis.
