Abstract
Psychiatric illnesses are common during the perinatal period. The use of antipsychotic medication during pregnancy has increased over the past two decades. In many instances, clinicians agree that untreated psychiatric illness during the perinatal period is more dangerous than the risks imposed by continuing psychotherapeutic medication. We describe patterns of psychotherapeutic medication continuation and discontinuation during pregnancy in a large U.S. cohort.
