U.S. News & World Report has its Best Hospitals feature in this week’s issue. They also rank hospitals based on specialties, including Psychiatry. I think it is important for women to know which hospitals in the U.S. excel in Psychiatry, given that we need to know where we can go for the best treatment. I know some of them excel in the treatment of postpartum mood disorders, like Massachusetts General Hospital, New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, Emory University Hospital, NYU and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I’m going to look into the others to find out what reproductive psychiatry programs they may have and report back to you.
