Recent Reason for Hindering Medications for Perinatal Mental Disorders in Japan
نویسنده
چکیده
BACKGROUND We examined the recent reasons for hindering antipsychotic medications during pregnancy in Japan. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical charts of all women who gave birth after 22 weeks' gestation at Japanese Red Cross Katsushika Maternity Hospital from August 2016 to July 2017. RESULTS Four pregnant women with mental disorders (three schizophrenia and one adjustment disorder) kept the interruption of medications under their partners' compulsion. All of their partners had a history of mental disorders (two schizophrenia, one anxiety disorder and one adjustment disorder). CONCLUSION In cases of pregnancy requiring mental health care, mental health care on partners seemed to be also needed.
