Psychiatric medications are not cures for mental illness.\u003cbr\u003e\nThat means that the pregnant woman must still manage up to 80% of her symptoms while taking medications.\u003cbr\u003e\nThat benefit must be considered in the context of the adverse effects the medications may have on the fetus. That is the benefit risk analysis the pregnant woman faces before deciding to accept or reject medications.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book is a review of the medical literature that provides information necessary to make an informed choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMay you live long and well.\u003cbr\u003e\nI am here to do no harm, and to help if I can\u003cbr\u003e\nThank you for your time and attention.\u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam R.
