title: [Newborn infants of psychotic mothers].
abstract: Pregnancy in women with psychotic disorders raises the problems of its advisability in such a psychiatric condition, of its fetal consequences, and of the child's future. The acceptance of pregnancy depends on the disease and the physician. Fetal consequences are mainly related to the use of psychotropic drugs because of their possible teratogenic effects, of neonatal intoxication and of postnatal withdrawal syndrome. The long-term outcome is conditioned by the quality of the mother-to-child relation, which needs frequent controls during the first years of life.
