Dr. Shari Lusskin joins Dr. Nathan Fox to discuss anxiety before and during pregnancy. Dr. Lusskin explains that a possible pregnancy (planned or unplanned) is something she always considers when first treating women for anxiety since certain medications are not safe for pregnant women. Fortunately, most anxiety and depression medications are safe to take during pregnancy. Even still, having a detailed pregnancy and birth plan with your mental health provider and OB-GYN can be incredibly helpful for many women, especially those with diagnosed anxiety whose symptoms might worsen during pregnancy.

On this podcast episode, Dr. Shari Lusskin joins Dr. Nathan Fox to discuss common concerns about anxiety and when its considered "normal." Situational anxiety because of an upcoming test or stressful event is normal and not always a cause for concern but if the anxiety becomes chronic and affects how you function, it's a problem that should be addressed with your doctor. In can be difficult for people to figure out on their own because of the non-specific labels used for emotional disorders. Drs. Fox and Lusskin also discuss diagnosis for different disorders and treatment options like systematic desensitization to decrease feelings of anxiety when exposed to phobias or triggers.
