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

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 such as PMS, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Perimenopausal Depression, as well as pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders.
