Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal mental health
  • Family support systems
  • Digital health interventions

Background:

  • Perinatal psychiatric disorders impact the entire family unit.
  • Existing interventions predominantly focus on mothers, neglecting partners and family members.
  • There is a need for accessible and inclusive perinatal mental health support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a single-session, virtual family support group for partners and family members of mothers with perinatal psychiatric disorders.
  • To assess the feasibility and satisfaction of this novel intervention.
  • To explore the potential of digital programs in expanding perinatal mental health care access.

Main Methods:

  • A virtual, one-hour, psychoeducational support group was offered to partners/family members of mothers in a perinatal psychiatric program.
  • Led by a clinical psychologist, sessions were bi-weekly.
  • Anonymous mixed-method surveys collected participant feedback.

Main Results:

  • Out of 105 eligible family members, 70 expressed interest and 45 attended.
  • 29% of attendees provided feedback, showing high satisfaction (CSQ-8 M=27.25).
  • Participants perceived increased knowledge and empathy; most desired more sessions.

Conclusions:

  • A virtual family support group is a feasible and satisfactory intervention for partners of mothers with perinatal psychiatric disorders.
  • This digital approach shows promise for enhancing accessibility in perinatal mental health care.
  • Further research is warranted to explore digital program scalability and impact.
