Women’s Program at Columbia

The Women’s Program in the NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center Department of Psychiatry focuses on the emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms women may experience through the course of the reproductive life cycle. In collaboration with our colleagues in the Division of Child Psychiatry and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Women’s Program provides evaluation and treatment for women for problems such as depression and anxiety during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and the postpartum period, and the onset of menopause. Our experts also help women to manage the emotional issues that arise with infertility, pregnancy loss in the course of parenting.
