Women with serious mental illness (SMI) who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy face gaps in information, support and resources in mental health services, new research suggests.
Apr 3 2024University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences Women with serious mental illness who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy face gaps in information, support and resources in mental health services, new research suggests.
Our study suggests that the topic of pregnancy may be under-discussed in mental health care, leading to a missed opportunity to understand patients' pregnancy goals and desires and offer appropriate support and services. The women we spoke to wanted more information on the potential impact of their psychiatric medications on fertility, pregnancy, fetal development, and breastfeeding.
