In the April 2019 Australasian
Psychiatry podcast Professor Phillip Boyce, Professor of
Psychiatry at Sydney University speaks about the unique
opportunities involved in the practice of perinatal psychiatry, as
well as the barriers to research. The interview covers articles in
the April issue which: advocate for increased numbers of Australian
mother-baby units; demonstrate that pregnant women do not receive
enough information about psychotropic medications; and reveal that
as many as 50% of potentially fertile women on sodium valproate
have not been made aware of potential teratogenic and
neurodevelopmental side effects.
