Abstract

Background Pregnancy and the postpartum period can be destabilizing for women with bipolar disorder (BD), and treatment decisions particularly complex. Yet, to date, relatively little research has focused on perinatal BD.

METHOD Following IRB approval, trained raters reviewed clinical records of 334 women who had sought treatment at a specialized partial hospitalization program serving perinatal women, including demographic, clinical, and treatment history information as noted in each patient.©2014 Elsevier B.V.
