This NICE guideline makes recommendations for the prediction, detection and treatment of mental disorders in women during pregnancy and the postnatal period (up to 1 year after delivery). It includes advice on the care of women with an existing mental disorder who are planning a pregnancy, and on the organisation of mental health services. The guideline covers the care of women with anxiety disorders, and depression. It also covers the treatment of postnatal psychotic disorders (often referred to as puerperal psychosis), which predominantly comprise bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It includes advice on the teratogenic risk of psychotropic medications and on the risks of their use during breastfeeding. The focus is on balancing the risks for each woman and her child against those of leaving the mental disorder untreated or inadequately treated. The guidance is based on the best available evidence but points to the limited evidence base in some areas. It is noted that no psychotropic drug has marketing authorisation specifically for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The guideline is intended to be read in conjunction with existing NICE guidance on the treatment and management of mental disorders which also includes advice on the most appropriate organisation of services for the delivery of effective treatment within a stepped-care framework.

Approximately 40% of people with psychosis misuse substances at some point in their lifetime, at least double the rate seen in the general population. This guideline covers the assessment and management of adults and young people aged 14 years and older who have a clinical diagnosis of psychosis (a term used to describe a group of severe mental health disorders) with coexisting substance misuse. It aims to help healthcare professionals guide people with psychosis who use drugs and/or alcohol, to stabilise, reduce or stop their substance misuse and to improve treatment adherence and outcomes. It offers best practice advice on assessment and management and person centred care. It sets out key priorities for implementation, covering principles of care, recognition of psychosis with coexisting substance misuse, primary care, secondary care mental health services, substance misuse services, inpatient mental health services, staffed accommodation, and specific issues for young people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse. Accompanying publications include the full guideline 'Psychosis with coexisting substance misuse: assessment and management in adults and young people' (with all the recommendations, details of how they were developed and reviews of the evidence they were based on) and Understanding NICE Guidance (a summary for patients and carers). Includes changes after publication (latest changes: February 2013).
