Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Please ask: The patient is an 18-year-old girl who was treated in a psychiatric hospital last year. She is currently also taking medication. Married, currently 2 months pregnant. Is she giving birth to a healthy baby now?Doctor's answer:
Although there is no scientific literature confirming the extent of the impact of antipsychotic medications on pregnancy, for the sake of caution, it is still advisable to consider fertility issues only after symptoms stabilize and a period of six months to one year has passed since stopping the medication. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we should strive to avoid it, as it concerns the health of the child.
