About Our Program

Outpatient Services

The UNC Center for Women’s Mood Disorders offers both clinical and research programs to address the needs of women with reproductive mood disorders.

Outpatient Clinical Program
Clinical treatment includes assessment, consultation, psychotherapy, and medication for women with mood disorders and hormonal disturbance. UNC physicians work with nurses, midwives, counselors, and social workers in the community to help create the best plan for managing symptoms. For more information, click on Clinics and Services.

Research Program
The research program is expanding to investigate specific areas of women’s reproductive mental health. Clinic patients who are interested can take part in research studies that are designed to investigate the biological basis of women’s reproductive mood disorders and to test new treatments. These studies will focus on a broad spectrum of reproductive psychiatric problems, including menstrually related mood disorders like PMS, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Perimenopausal Depression as well as pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders. For more information on studies you may qualify for, please click on Research Studies.

Prevention
Early identification of mood disorders, particularly depression and anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum, is a critical component of prevention. UNC physicians work with the community to help primary care physicians, obstetricians and gynecologists, pediatricians, and other professionals increase awareness of the early signs of reproductive mood disorders. UNC also offers an educational group called “Moms and Emotions” at the UNC Women’s Health Information Center. For details, please call 919-843-1759.
