No associations were found between sex hormones and cognitive performance, although higher levels of progesterone were associated with a higher rate of negative mood states. Treatment decisions are affected by pregnancy, as the wish to avoid medication exposure during pregnancy motivates many women to discontinue stimulants during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Perinatal Psychiatry: In-Depth Modules for Enhanced Approaches. It has been documented that treatment with stimulants for ADHD improves driving capability, which is a key functional outcome (15). Perinatal health problems, maternal smoking during pregnancy, and atopic eczema also raise the risk for ADHD, whereas fully breastfeeding appears to protect against ADHD, … Even with treatment and testing accommodations, she failed twice and needed to take time off to study before passing the examination on her third attempt. H��UIo�6F��:R��w�N�P�. The most frequent side effect occurring during pregnancy was decreased maternal appetite (34.9%). In a large prospective study (N=42,101) in which 237 pregnant women were treated with dextroamphetamine to prevent excessive weight gain (26), birth weights were not significantly affected when the drug was discontinued before week 28 of gestation but were 4% lower on average when the drug was discontinued after week 28.

She opted to breastfeed and remain off of methylphenidate for 3 months. Concerns about in utero exposure to stimulants are based primarily on the impact these medications might have on fetal growth. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health highlighted a system of patchy care and fragmentation for women with perinatal mental health problems, and recommended that national clinical quality benchmarks and pathways could help to address this and support at least 30,000 more women to access mental health care during pregnancy and after giving birth. She experienced some periods, lasting several days at a time, of low mood and frustration that were triggered by feeling overwhelmed at work, but she was able to function well enough to continue without methylphenidate. Dr Fitelson is an Instructor in Clinical Psychiatry and Director, The Women's Program in the Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, in New York. After 3 months, her maternity leave ended, and on returning to work, she discontinued breastfeeding and restarted methylphenidate. Little is known about the impact of treatment decisions on occupational functioning, interpersonal relationships, course of comorbid illnesses, and quality of life. 0000009595 00000 n There was no clear pattern of type of birth defects. The Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service provides assessment and treatment for women who are experiencing or are at an increased chance of experiencing a severe mental health condition during pregnancy and up to one year after birth. at birth) and cumulative prenatal and perinatal risk factors and psychiatric comorbidity. The main finding with stimulants is that fetal growth may be reduced when stimulants are used in late pregnancy. Long-term outcomes, including behavioral teratogenicity, have not been adequately studied. Other animal studies have shown morphological brain changes during pregnancy in the absence of functional memory impairment (14).

As her school years continued and the workload increased, however, she experienced more difficulty with her grades, and in high school she was diagnosed with ADHD. She used public transportation as often as possible after learning that untreated ADHD is associated with a higher risk of motor vehicle accidents. Nonpharmacological strategies such as CBT are recommended in order to allow women to function as well as possible during pregnancy either without medication or while using the minimum amount required to maintain functioning. h�TP=��0��+�"�U !u�C��/ҫ���OR�@��Ow��U��l ya�k�X2��X#���a;�AFr=���E!�5��#,�U�yf�l���-��D����)@e !wG�O�C����n�GXO}>;��WYQ�Pdy�JH�{��x4�W�xm����;���Ny�s�6�;YH����|�J!� ��hp xref 0000006132 00000 n Horm Behav 2000; 37:86–95Crossref, Medline, Google Scholar, 15 Biederman J, Fried R, Hammerness P, Surman C, Mehler B, Petty CR, Faraone SV, Miller C, Bourgeois M, Meller B, Godfrey KM, Baer L, Reimer B: The effects of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate on driving behaviors in young adults with ADHD assessed with the Manchester driving behavior questionnaire.

It is imperative that the benefit of a medication be robust enough to justify any potential exposure during pregnancy. 0000006060 00000 n startxref There was no control group, and exposures also included alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs of abuse. A common question in perinatal psychiatry regards the risk-benefit profile of pharmacotherapy for ADHD, particularly with stimulants. At this time, there are no guidelines to inform the treatment of ADHD across pregnancy and the postpartum period. Psychotherapeutic approaches for ADHD have been investigated. For example, pregnant rats have been reported to outperform nonpregnant female rats on tests of memory and cognition (13). There is a growing appreciation that girls with ADHD have a substantial likelihood of continuing to have the disorder in adulthood. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been increasingly recognized and treated in children and adults in recent years. A common ques-tion in perinatal psychiatry regards the risk-benefit profile of pharmacotherapy for ADHD, particularly with stimulants. The rate of birth defects with second-trimester exposure was 2.1%. 71 60 1, Journal of Clinical Psychology, Vol. 0000016928 00000 n There is also a case report (41) of a baby who was breastfed while the mother was using bupropion and had a possible seizure as reported by the mother. Abstract Investigators at Seoul National Hospital, and other centers in Seoul, Korea, studied the genetic, perinatal, and developmental risk factors in 147 children, ages 6 to 15 years, diagnosed with ADHD. However, in later childhood, the heaviest maternal cocaine use was associated with subtle deficits in executive functioning (30). It is plausible that women experience greater distraction from other areas as they focus increasingly on a life transition to motherhood.

The estimated infant dose was lower (0.16%−0.2%) in two other case reports of infants who were breastfed while the mothers were treated with methylphenidate (32, 33). The cADHD group had lower educational level, more ADHD symptoms and executive dysfunction, and higher rates of drug use than the other groups. The medications most commonly used in this group were methylphenidate (82.4%), risperidone (29.4%), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (16.4%), and imipramine (4.6%). CBT and “coaching” strategies can help improve functioning and assist patients in tailoring their routines in ways to cope with ADHD (43–46). Only limited data are available to inform patients on the use of stimulants during breastfeeding. The data suggests that overall, among perinatal women, the probability of developing OCD in the first 6 months of postpartum is approximately 9%. Across these clinical projects, we are working very closely with the Perinatal Psychiatry Clinical Services at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM). 0000003307 00000 n Most available data on stimulant use during pregnancy are derived from use in other contexts, such as substance abuse and weight management during pregnancy, the outcomes of which may not be generalizable to women who use stimulants as prescribed for the treatment of ADHD. Perinatal psychiatry is a rapidly evolving field requiring specialized knowledge and skills. Can the patient implement strategies at work that would minimize the effect of ADHD symptoms, such as changes to her workload or schedule or strategies she might learn through CBT? The absolute risk was approximately 2 out of 1,000 pregnancies. Objective: To investigate a potential relationship between coincidental increases in perinatal Pitocin usage and subsequent childhood ADHD onset in an attempt to isolate a specific risk factor as an early biomarker of this neurodevelopmental disorder. In some cases, such as when a woman has a history of impaired driving when not using medication and there are no alternatives to driving, a stimulant used sparingly on an as-needed basis might be the best and safest option. Approximately half of adults who had childhood ADHD continue to have the disorder and associated impairments (1). 0000010051 00000 n 0000011188 00000 n (22) reported congenital anomalies occurring in four of 180 exposed pregnancies, or 2.2%. None of the medications have been demonstrated to have clear risks in very early pregnancy. A common question in perinatal psychiatry regards the risk-benefit profile of pharmacotherapy for ADHD, particularly with stimulants. While most women can successfully avoid the use of stimulant medication during pregnancy, there are cases in which the benefits of stimulant treatment outweigh known and putative risks of in utero medication exposure. 0000002170 00000 n endstream endobj 91 0 obj <> endobj 92 0 obj <>stream Women with more severe ADHD may either elect to make major life changes to minimize the impact of ADHD on impairment in their lives or choose to continue using medication.

In most cases, the causes are unknown. The timing of such impairments varies among studies (e.g., throughout pregnancy, in late pregnancy only), as does whether such findings extend to the postpartum period (6, 10, 11).

Genes, pre and perinatal risks, psychosocial factors and environmental toxins have all been considered as potential risk factors. In an epidemiological study of women who used antidepressants in pregnancy (36), outcomes were compared for women who used bupropion in the first trimester (N=1,213), women who used other antidepressants in the first trimester (N=4,743), and women who used bupropion after the first trimester (N=1,049). 0000422482 00000 n Neurotoxicol Teratol 2009; 31:159–168Crossref, Medline, Google Scholar, 31 Ilett KF, Hackett LP, Kristensen JH, Kohan R: Transfer of dexamphetamine into breast milk during treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

In a report of two infants whose mothers breastfed while using bupropion (38), neither had detectable levels of bupropion or metabolites in their serum. In studies of outcomes after prenatal cocaine exposure, after controlling for confounding variables, children have generally not been found to experience consistent impairment on standard cognitive tests and visual habituation, and no effects have been found on language skill development (29). Lower psychomotor scores in the early months of life were not independently associated with cocaine exposure but rather with concurrently used substances, and no detrimental effects have been observed on motor development during the later years of early childhood (29). The report of low appetite is consistent with the side effect profile of stimulants, as well as with the observation of decreased body weight among pregnant animals exposed to methylphenidate (25). She is an attorney and states that her job is difficult when she does not take her medication.
