Management of Psychotic Disorders during Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period
نویسنده
چکیده
Pregnant patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders are classified as a high-risk pregnancy group, as they are at higher risk for stillbirth and infant mortality and have an insufficient capability to maintain and manage pregnancy [1]. The recent increase in use of atypical antipsychotic medications has reduced the possibility of infertility caused by hyperprolactinemia; as a result, patients with psychotic disorders are increasingly getting pregnant and giving birth [2]. It is important to clearly understand their clinical course and treatment methods during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
