FA 2020 page 563 OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment: CBT and SSRI's. Second line: clomipramine and venlafaxine.
this lady has eithe OCD or an anxiety disorder both first line for tx is an SSRI-> she washes her hands 30x a day and wakes the poor baby up 14 times a night. She's got multiple repetitive behaviors that aren't productive to solving the perceived problem
I think my mistake here was failure to recognise she had similar symptoms for 2 months prior to delivery. For postpartum depression/psychosis symptom onset would be 4 weeks from delivery. Thus a previous diagnosis of OCD would be more likely.
Answer: SSRI (1st line for OCD)
