Misconceptions Around Treatment During Pregnancy and Post-Partum | Brittany Booth, MD

health, particularly perinatal and postpartum care, as well as
mood disorders, anxiety, and OCD.


Dr. Booth earned her bachelor’s degree from Boston University and
her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at
UCLA. She completed her psychiatry residency at UCLA
Neuropsychiatric Institute. Prior to joining CalPsychiatry, she
served as Chief Resident of the inpatient units at UCLA and as

Dr. Booth employs a holistic approach to treating mental illness,
drawing on medications as simply one tool in a vast toolbox. She

patient is vital to the success of treatment, and strives to
provide a safe, honest, and supportive environment that
facilitates partnership between herself and her patients.
