Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify the issues among pregnant women with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness which may worsen during pregnancy to postpartum.

risks for infant abnormalities while taking psychotropics. The methods used from the case
studies were a naturalistic study and a systemic review. Although, for some the medication did
not affect the baby or mother. Many pregnant women choose to continue taking medication to
stabilize their symptoms of bipolar disorder. Because the risks of exacerbating symptoms linked
to pregnancy. The outcome of how to treat pregnant women with bipolar disorder is still being
researched. There is still more research and education needed to find a solution.
