Abstract:
Several therapeutic problems are posed when a manic-depressive patient is or wishes to become pregnant. The relative risks and benefits of psychotropic treatments must be carefully assessed. Available data on teratogenic risks and neonatal complications (overdosage or withdrawal syndromes) are briefly reviewed. Treatment guidelines for pregnant bipolar patients are proposed.
