Direct guidance
What to know or do
For “Waiting with thoughts of harm or loss of contact with reality,” use the lower-exposure choice instead of trying to cancel the exposure afterward. Do not stop prescribed mental-health medicine suddenly because of pregnancy; arrange prompt review with the prescriber.
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
Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
