Direct guidance
What to know or do
Mention persistent distress, guilt, low mood, anxiety or difficulty functioning so support can address the experience without judging it. Seek urgent help for thoughts of harm or loss of reality.
What changes the answer
- How long the change has lasted and how it affects sleep, eating, self-care and safety
- Past diagnoses, trauma, treatment response, medicines and relapse warning signs
- Privacy, practical support, coercion, immediate danger and who can stay with you
General guidance
When to get individual help
This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
