Abstract
Pregnancy is frequently thought of as a time of emotional well-being for women, but it does not protect them from mood instability. In fact, it is a risk factor for depressive illness, defined as a state of psychological pain with dysregulation of mood.It is generally agreed that drugs of any type should be taken during pregnancy only when the risks to the mother and the fetus of no treatment outweigh the risks of taking the drug. In the case of depressive illness, the risks of no treatment in a pregnant woman might be high when the woman is suicidal, . . .Keywords
