Becoming pregnant and delivering a child is one of the most cherished periods in a woman’s life. However, that period is not necessarily free from worries, frustrations, fears, anxieties, depression, and even self-harm. In fact, research shows 13–37% of pregnant women have mental health issues. After delivery, 15% of women have significant mental health issues. The well-known conditions are Postpartum Blues, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Psychosis.
Moreover, many female patients who are already taking treatment for mental health issues get married and want to become pregnant. They have many questions and worries.
Can I become pregnant?
Will my child also have mental health issues?
Can I continue to take tablets during pregnancy?
Can I stop taking tablets and then get pregnant?
Do all tablets affect the pregnancy?
Are there tablets which are safe to take during pregnancy?
What alternative therapies are there?
Can psychotherapy alone be helpful?
The majority of infertile couples are frustrated, anxious, and frequently go through demoralization and depression. Miscarriages and abortions also have their mental health consequences, frequently resulting in depression.
