Suggest Treatment For Depression During Pregnancy

Hello Sir.

My wife was sufferring from depression and suicidal tendancy when she was in 12th std.

She got fail twice in 12th std, after which she took treatment from a psychiatrist from

Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

She took complete treatment and afterwards she continued her study.

Now she is doing internship in BHMS and is pregnant for 2 months.

Nowadyas, sometimes she has many negative thoughts and she commits that she is still

sufferring from the same old problem of depression and suicidal tendancy.



I have a query whether she should continue with the medication which she took earlier during

her 12th std.

Note that she is currently pregnant.

Will there be any complication during pregnancy?

Will there be any side effects on a new born baby?



Please advise.



Thanks

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The best option is to consult another psychiatrist for a detailed investigation and diagnosis and treatment. So many psychiatrist medicines are not good during pregnancy. Over and above, you need to analyze her condition whether she needs drug treatment or just psychotherapy.
