Medical termination of pregnancy when decided for maternal psychosocial distress is a new issue facing maternity field teams. Multidisciplinary work is required, as well as respect for the patients' temporality. The decision is collegial, estimating the least traumatic impact possible for them over the long term. The ethical principles of beneficence and non-maleficence guide the work of the team and the evaluation of the psychiatrist in this context.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects.
