摘要

This issue of Psychiatric Annals, guest edited by Asim A. Shah, MD, highlights "Women's Issues"-particularly those around pregnancy. The first article, written by the Shah, Imran S. Khawaja, MD, FAASM, and Awais Aftab, MD, reviews psy-chotrophics in pregnancy. The authors compare several psychiatric medications to determine their safety and efficacy in pregnancy. The next article discusses psycho-tropics in lactation, and whether it's safe to breast-feed while taking medications that treat mental disorders.
