About the video :

10-15% of women experience mood disorders during and after pregnancy and 1 in 4 women will begin pregnancy on psychiatric medications. Despite accumulating data around antidepressant treatment during this time, many women express preferences for alternative treatment but are limited by a "meds vs no meds" binary model of care.

When depression is viewed as an endpoint of multiple different modifiable lifestyle contributors, changes in environment, stress management, diet, and behavior can result in alleviation of symptoms and more optimal health for mother and baby. Inflammatory models of depression and postpartum depression and anxiety will be explored. Evidence-based non-medication treatments are available including SAMe, B vitamins (methyl-folate, B12), vitamin D, Omega fatty acids, cranial stimulation, probiotics, and mindfulness interventions.

About Dr. Kelly Brogan :

As an undergraduate at M.I.T, Dr. Brogan studied Cognitive Neuroscience and worked with Harvard undergraduates to create a public forum for the discussion of alternative medicine, directing conferences for the Hippocratic Society. She attended Cornell Medical School where she was awarded the Rudin Scholarship for Psychiatric Oncology and began her work in Reproductive Psychiatry, which she went on to train in during her residency at NYU/Bellevue.

A strong interest in the interface of medicine and psychiatry led her to pursue a fellowship in Consultation Liaison/Psychosomatic Medicine at NYU/Bellevue/VA Hospital. Since that time, she remains on faculty and has focused her efforts on teaching and on her private practice where she cares for patients with medical illnesses, as well as women at all stages of their reproductive life cycle. A strong interest in holistic living, environmental medicine, and nutrition are the bedrock of her functional medicine practice.

She has published in the field of Psycho-Oncology, Women’s Health, and Infectious Disease. She is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Psychosomatic Medicine, and Integrative and Holistic Medicine.
