What to know or do
Bring the exact label, ingredients, preparation method or situation for “Persistent anxiety, low mood, panic or intrusive thoughts” when asking for advice. Ask how existing therapy, prescriptions and crisis plans should continue through pregnancy and after birth.
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

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
