This free lesson is an excerpt from the Seleni Institute's signature online course, the Maternal Mental Health Intensive. You will learn about Generalized Anxiety Disorder during the perinatal timeframe, and its prevalence, symptoms, and treatments (including short- and long-term recommended interventions such as psychoeducation, behavioral interventions, cognitive restructuring, and psychodynamic therapy).
