Things you need to know about your care

Learn all you can

---Learn about the conditions you have been diagnosed with and things that can help. At this site, you can type any condition into the search bar. You can also look at the list of conditions and other information below it.  https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families

---Also important for safety. Read all your prescribing information thoroughly so you know everything you need to about your medications. This comes with your medication. If there is even a slight risk that you could become pregnant, you should pay particular attention to that information regarding the medication. Many medications are safe to take in pregnancy and it is common to continue treatment. But some medications can be dangerous. So you should consult with psychiatry and obstetrics for a safety evaluation. I highly recommend that all who could possibly conceive a pregnancy consider being on a highly effective form of contraception and to discuss with their PCP and their gynecologist.
