Delivering preconception care to women of childbearing age with serious mental illness
This guide for health professionals in primary and secondary care will be of particular relevance to general adult psychiatrists working with women with SMI of childbearing age. It provides the latest evidence to support health care professionals during routine appointments to promote awareness of physical and mental health issues which can contribute to healthy pregnancies and allow women to feel supported and empowered to make reproductive choices, whether or not they are planning a pregnancy.
