description

Second-generation antipsychotics are now the established first-line treatment for schizophrenia. However, there are limited data on the use of these compounds in pregnant and breastfeeding women with mental disorders. For ethical reasons, research on these subjects mostly relies on collection of single datasets of cases in order to establish treatment guidelines.
