What percentage of women aged 12 years and over have used an antidepressant medication? -
(Correct Answer)13%
What percentage of pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned? - (Correct Answer)~50%
omission bias - (Correct Answer)the tendency for physicians to feel more responsible for causing
harm if it results from something they do (e.g. prescribe a medication) than if it results from
something they fail to do
Pregnancy often leads to - (Correct Answer)antidepressant discontinuation.
relational ethics - (Correct Answer)the principle that the well-being of mother/parent and fetus
are intertwined rather than oppositional, and both need to be taken into account in treatment
decisions
3 kinds of stress response - (Correct Answer)1. positive, 2. tolerable, 3. toxic
positive stress response - (Correct Answer)-normal and essential part of healthy development
-brief increases in heart rate and mild elevations in hormone levels
-e.g. vaccines, new caregiver
tolerable stress response - (Correct Answer)-activates the body's alert systems
-if time-limited and buffered by relationships with adults, the brain and other organs recover
-from more severe, longer-lasting difficulties

reduced responsiveness.
-a placental enzyme (11BHSD2*) inactivates some circulating maternal glucorticoids.
With severe, prolonged maternal distress... - (Correct Answer)-Maternal cortisol level can
overwhelm placental defenses.
-This increases methylation at promoter regions of fetal genes that affect glucorticoid receptors.
