Use of Psychotropics in Bipolar Disorder with Pregnancy: A Case Report
Abstract
Shivendra Shekhar and Sandip Sheth
There is no single consensus on the use of antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and benzodiazepines in pregnancy. It is well known that the first trimester of pregnancy is the most critical. We are presenting a case of a pregnant woman in the first trimester who presented to our facility in a manic state with a psychiatric history of Bipolar disorder. She was treated with Haloperidol, Clonazepam, and Lurasidone with good effect. This case emphasizes the importance of treating a psychiatric disorder in pregnancy if the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks posed to the mother and the fetus.
