AB Pregnancy  is  a  period  of  social,  physiologic,  hormonal,  and  psychological  change  that  affects  all  aspects  of  a  woman's  life.  These  changes,  especially  when  accompanied  by  overlying  preexisting  risk  factors  for  psychiatric  illness,  are  all  triggers  for  a  first  episode,  recurrence,  or  worsening  of  a  behavioral  or  mental  health  problem.  The  data  on  the  management  and  treatment  of  psychiatric  disorders  in  pregnancy  is  both  highly  variable  and  highly  controversial.  A  large  population–based  study  of  pregnant  women  in  Sweden  reported  that  the  point-prevalence  of  any  psychiatric  diagnosis  was  14.1%,  and  in  the  United  States,  it  is  likely  higher  and,  data  suggests,  continuing  to  rise.1
