| Abstract: | Women with severe mental illness and pregnancy suffer substantial travails in accessing care for mental and perinatal health. Women with psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia face higher risks of pregnancy and postnatal complications. Similarly, lack of access to holistic psychiatric care presents particular perils for these women and their children. Tailored care for these mothers-to-be and their babies is needed to prevent and ameliorate health complications, mental and physical. This will require targeted funding of services that connect women with and provide continuity of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
