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.

This guidance booklet from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence addresses the care and treatment of adults with common mental health problems, including depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder, in the NHS in England and Wales. It is written for people experiencing common mental health problems but it may also be useful for their families or carers, or for anyone with an interest in common mental health problems. The booklet is designed to help in the understanding of the care and treatment options that should be available in the NHS. It does not describe common mental health problems, tests or treatments in detail. The booklet should be discussed with a member of the healthcare team. Sections include: common mental health problems; how can I get help for common mental health problems?; what should I expect to happen at an assessment?; what treatments might I be offered?; information for families and carers; explanation of technical words and terms; more information; about NICE.
