36) The POP Polis with Prof. Birit Broekman from OLVG


In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into a crucial topic: maternal mental health. We're joined by Professor Birit Broekman from the POP Polis clinic in OLVG⁠ in Amsterdam. It’s estimated that two in ten pregnant and postpartum women experience psychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorder, panic disorder, postpartum psychosis, or postpartum depression. These challenges can be incredibly overwhelming, but the POP Polis clinic offers a holistic approach to maternal care by providing expert support from a multidisciplinary team.

Professor Broekman shares valuable insights into the integrated services available at POP Polis, where specialists from psychiatry, obstetrics, and pediatrics work together to support mothers and mothers-to-be. Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, navigating the complexities of pregnancy itself, or adjusting to life postpartum, the POP Polis clinic provides essential care and guidance.

Key Services Discussed:

  • Psychological Support: Therapy and conversations to manage psychological complaints.

  • Psychiatric Care: Medication management during pregnancy and postpartum, with guidance from a psychiatrist.

  • Gynecological Support: Assessing physical health and pregnancy-related risks.

  • Pediatric Care: Monitoring the impact of medication on the baby and ensuring the infant’s health.
