Peripartum Depression
Women who are depressed during pregnancy have higher rates of use of alcohol, illicit substances, and tobacco in pregnancy, with poorer nutrition and weight gain, and lower rates of prenatal care. Untreated depression in pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, and neonatal intensive care unit admission (Konstanatinou et al 2020). Peripartum Depression is one of the most common disorders of pregnancy. It has a higher morbidity and mortality risk than any other condition affecting pregnant people. Symptoms of peripartum depression persist for more than two weeks and include anhedonia, decreased energy, reduced appetite, and poor concentration (Justesen & Jourdaine, 2023).

Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women.
SSRIs are the first choice for moderate to severe peripartum depression treatment. In a randomized controlled trial comparing antidepressants with community-based psychosocial intervention for peripartum depression, SSRIs were superior, with a number needed to treat at four weeks. Postpartum women can be sensitive to medications because of hormone effects on liver enzymes, increased volume of distribution, and increased levels of drug-binding proteins; therefore, some experts recommend starting a medication at one-half of the regular dose and titrating slowly. In contrast, pregnant women often require higher doses of medications because of larger volumes of distribution (Skånland, & Cieślar-Pobuda,2019).

A nonpharmacological intervention for treating peripartum depression is psychotherapy. Nonpharmacologic treatment strategies are similar to prevention strategies, with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommending referral for psychotherapy as the mainstay of treatment. Cognitive behavior therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy are the best studied and have the most robust supporting evidence. Group and individual approaches are effective. The two most common psychotherapies include interpersonal therapy (focus on improving social interactions and coping skills) and cognitive behavioral therapy (focus on adjusting patients' self-detrimental thought processes). Interpersonal therapy has been shown to improve mood during pregnancy, but cognitive behavioral therapy has only been validated for postpartum depression (Spinelly, 2003).

Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
Risks of medication use during pregnancy and breastfeeding must be weighed against the risks of untreated or inadequately treated depression. Inadequately treated depression has the potential to progress to active suicidality and can lead to impaired bonding for the birth parent, impaired childhood development, and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and hypertensive disorders. Paroxetine might be associated with major malformations, especially cardiac defects. Some evidence is available of an association between neonatal behavioral syndrome and exposure to SSRIs in utero during the last trimester. Infants with continuous exposure to mother's depression and continuous exposure to SSRIs throughout gestation were more likely to be born preterm than were infants with partial or no exposure. Guidelines suggest that SSRIs should be used with caution during pregnancy, and that paroxetine be avoided (Kupfer, Frank & Phillps, 2012).

Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder, and if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
·
Support your reasoning with at least three current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a nonpharmacological intervention for the disorder.
Consistent with the goals of the new FDA and Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule, clinicians must consider the risks of untreated illness as well as pharmacotherapy-related maternal adverse reactions, infant outcomes, and birth complications when counseling patients about medications in pregnancy and postpartum. Discussion of dosing requirements during gestation and any adverse effects related to breastfeeding must also be addressed (Betcher et al, 2019). Nurse practitioners and others who prescribe these drugs need to be aware of potential adverse effects and counsel depressed pregnant women appropriately. Some of the possible risks are drug perfusion to the fetus, adverse birth outcomes, neonatal withdrawal syndrome, and impaired child development. Before nurses can help to treat depression, they must first be able to recognize it. To screen for depression, it is important to be clear about the definition, risk factors, and comorbidity of depression in pregnant women.
SSRI antidepressant use in the final trimester also has been associated with

in the newborn. Researchers utilizing the Medicaid Database with nearly 3.79 million pregnant women compared outcomes of women taking an SSRI, another class of antidepressant, or no antidepressant in the last 90 days of pregnancy. Pregnant women who discontinued their antidepressants proximal to conception were nearly three times more likely to suffer a recurrence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy than women who continued their medication. Small case series studies show that the concentrations of the SSRI

1. In this week’s discussion, I was able to: Integrate nursing and related sciences into the delivery of care to patients. I was also able to analyze quality initiatives to improve patients’ health outcomes.
Alternative and Complementary medicines are considered health-cultured practices, that are not part of traditional medicine and that have been part of the holistic culture of the populations. They are used as an alternative or in addition to traditional medical treatments with the goal of improving patients’ outcomes (Lee, Richard, et al., 2022). Alternative and Complementary medicines can include therapies such as dietary supplements, herbs, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yoga, reiki, ayurvedic medicine, complementary supplements, etc (Adeniyi, Washington, et al., 2021). The reasons for using these alternative methods can be many: Cultural, religious, economic, etc. However, as many people use it most of the time, it is important to analyze this point and share our opinion on this matter.
It is well-known that many people from the general population are used to taking self-prescribed natural treatments. In the first term, we can name herbal medications. In general culture and even in religion, people believe that herbs have a good effect in the treatment of some diseases such as hypertension or Diabetes Mellitus. Many people think that herbs were created by God in order to provide natural treatment for diseases. Actually, many people believe that herbal medicines are better choices as they don’t have undesirable effects at all. Some people prefer to take natural medication rather than medical treatments, as they think that pharmacological preparations are made of chemical and artificial ingredients that can be harmful to the body. Moreover, people trust natural treatments for cancer, as it is thought that they can potentially inhibit oncology cell growth. However, researchers have determined that about 80% of the patients do take their pharmacological treatment in addition to a natural treatment (Adeniyi, Washington et, al. 2021). However, there are some natural treatments that, in addition to pharmacological treatment, can cause adverse effects, for example, ginkgo can increase the anticoagulant effect; ginseng and some teas can decrease the anticoagulant effect (Izzo 2005). Other natural treatments such as exercises, meditation, yoga, and acupuncture, are also used and well-known as coadjuvants to release stress and that way help improve clinical condition.
In conclusion, the healthcare team needs to accept that alternative and natural treatments are part of the culture and religion of the population. So it is very important to establish a good and trustable relationship with the patient, so he/she can feel confident enough to tell the healthcare provider about the alternative treatments that are been taken, as sometimes they can help, but sometimes they can be harmful. In the end, a closed and trustable relationship with the patient and a good assessment is the basis for the best possible outcomes.
2. The allopathic or conventional medicine is practiced by doctors and health personnel. Complementary medicine refers to the practice of medicine that complements conventional medicine, that is, it is used in conjunction with conventional medicine. An example includes the use of acupuncture in pain management. Alternative medicine, on the other hand, is the use of complementary and alternative medicine as a replacement for traditional medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine are very varied. Within them, we find natural products related to botanical medicine and probiotics. We also find mind and body therapy, such as meditation techniques, yoga, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and deep relaxation exercises, among others.
In the treatment of cancer, it has been proven that the use of complementary and alternative therapy has been useful in managing the patient’s symptoms. However, it is not considered a miraculous medicine in the cure of cancer; it simply helps, in conjunction with conventional medicine, to manage some symptoms that cancer patients experience. For example, acupuncture treatment can help alleviate symptoms related to pain, therapeutic massages have been shown according to some research studies to reduce depression, pain, and depressive anxiety disorders related to cancer disease (American Cancer Society, 2019). However, some harmful health effects and interactions with medications have been shown, especially in treatment with botanical medicine, so it is recommended that your doctor be notified of its use before starting treatment to avoid drug interactions and potential harm to health (American Cancer Society, 2019).
Holistic medicine, unlike conventional medicine, is not focused on treating diseases as allopathic medicine does. Rather, it is preventative medicine, although it can be integrated with allopathic medicine in some instances. Holistic medicine is based on the fact that illnesses appear as a consequence or result of environmental, physical, social and/or emotional imbalances (Cannon, 2023). Therefore, its essence is to heal the body and mind with alternative therapies to maintain their balance and prevent the onset of illness. Holistic medicine dates back to ancient times, and after the appearance of conventional medicine, it was somewhat abandoned. However, in around the 1960s in Europe and America, the properties of holistic medicine regained popularity. An example of this is homeopathy, which can be used to recover body vitality as holistic medicine, but it can also be used as an adjunct treatment to allopathic medicine. The use of phytotherapy has had great success in the management of certain diseases, such as those of the immune system, favoring healing.
In the management of high blood pressure and diabetes, the practice of natural medicine plays a fundamental role as an adjunct to integrated medicine; even natural medicine can be used as a technique for the prevention of these diseases. The practice of a balanced and healthy diet, daily physical exercise, relaxation techniques and stress management are determining factors in the prevention of arterial hypertension, cancer, and diabetes. Other natural medicine can be used, for example omega 3 is an essential oil that can be used to prevent special hyperlipidemia in patients with chronic disease.
Both allopathic and holistic medicine have an important role on patient care, and together, they can give the best result in the management of the disease. As a provider, we need to offer the patient different option to treat their condition, but we need to be respectful of patients’ autonomy in their decision.
