What this trial studies

The National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications aims to assess the safety of various psychiatric medications, including antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics, used by pregnant women. This observational study will systematically document medication exposure during pregnancy and evaluate the associated risks of congenital malformations and neonatal outcomes. By gathering comprehensive data, the registry seeks to provide clinicians with reliable information regarding the reproductive safety of these medications, which is currently limited. This initiative represents one of the largest hospital-based efforts to monitor pregnancy outcomes related to psychiatric medication use.
