“…The majority of requests were routine, but in order to take advantage of the opportunity for preventative work pointed out by Kendell (1997) it would seem appropriate to see an 'at risk' woman as early on in pregnancy as possible (Table 2).…”

Aims and methodTo set up a liaison psychiatry service for an obstetric department and review how much of the work involved in such a service can be undertaken by a senior registrar in two special interest sessions.ResultsIt was clear there was a demand for a service for women with psychiatric problems associated with childbirth. Referrals from colleagues in general psychiatry meant that the available time was soon used up. This did therefore not allow time to develop efficient systems for referral and management or to then see the extra referrals this would have produced. The limited and temporary service was well received by other professionals and by patients. The number of referrals received fell far short of the expected morbidity.Clinical implicationsIn an area with this number of births and its consequent level of psychiatric morbidity, it would not seem possible, within two special interest sessions, to develop a more formalised or comprehensive system.

Success in early detection of harmful stress, mental ill-health, and suicidal behaviour is substantially dependent on system solutions at the macro level. Suicide prevention interventions and strategies can only be effective if cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills, at different stages of the suicidal process and on different vulnerable groups are combined. In this chapter, traditionally well-known vulnerable groups, such as people with depression and alcohol misuse, are discussed at different stages of the suicidal process, in order to increase early detection. Early recognition is also important in demographic groups that have been neglected to date in suicide prevention, such as mothers with pre-natal and post-natal mental disorders, persons with diabetes mellitus, spinal cord injury disabilities and adult childhood cancer survivors, as well as young vulnerable people for whom harmful stress can be a suicidal trigger. In regard to the implementation and process optimization of individual interventions, lessons from management and, in particular, from social marketing, can provide a key contribution.
