Abstract

|
|
|
The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in childbearing aged women may be higher than in non-childbearing aged women. Traditionally, psychiatric medications were withheld during pregnancy because of fear of teratogenic and other effects. It is well known that potential consequences of an untreated psychiatric problem may be severe. Clinicians need to help mothers weigh both fetal and neonatal risks of exposure to drugs against the potential risk they and their infant may incur if the psychiatric illness is not treated. Decisions regarding the use of psychiatric medications should be individualized and the most important factor is usually the symptom severity and patient’s level of functioning in the past when she was not taking medications. This review focuses on the current knowledge of pregnant women specifically in psychopharmacology.
