Abstract

The prevalence of bipolar disorder (BD) inmales and females is almost equal. The onset of BD in females typically occursduring the reproductive years, complicating its treatment. Although it was oncebelieved that pregnancy prevents recurrence, studies have shown that recurrenceis common and severe during pregnancy. On the other hand, the effects ofpharmacological treatment on obstetrical outcome are not well known and some ofthese agents are considered teratogenic. Thus, the decision to treat pregnantpatients with psychotropic agents requires solving an ethical dilemma.Risk-benefit decisions should be made while considering both the risk ofrelapse of BD and its morbidity, and the risk of fetal exposure to psychotropicmedications. Moreover, the risk of recurrence increases dramatically in thepostpartum period. It is well known that all of the psychotropic medicationsstudied enter the breast milk. Thus, their effects on infants should beconsidered while prescribing for a breastfeeding mother. The aim of this review was to discuss thesafety profiles of the treatment options for pregnant and breastfeeding BDpatients. Firstly, each medication's effects on organ dysgenesis, neonataltoxicity, and neurobehavioral development, and their associated adverse eventsduring pregnancy and the postpartum period are discussed, with a focus on theemerging literature. Given this background, practical suggestions on tailoringtreatment in BD patients, from preconception to breastfeeding are highlighted.

Özet

İki uçlu bozukluğun yaşam boyu sıklığı her iki cinsiyetteyaklaşık eşittir. Hastalığın başlangıç döneminin kadınların doğurganlık çağıile örtüşmesi sağaltımda ek sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Her ne kadar gebeliğinyinelemeden koruduğuna inanılsa da çalışmalar gebelikte yinelemenin sık veşiddetli olduğunu göstermiştir. Öte yandan, pek çok ilaç sağaltımı seçeneğiningebelikteki etkileri bilinmemekte ve bazıları teratojen olarak kabuledilmektedir. Bu yüzden gebe hastaları psikotrop ajanlarla tedavi etme kararıetik bir çıkmazı çözmeyi gerektirir. Risk-yarar kararı alınırken hem iki uçlubozukluğun yineleme riski ile beraberinde getirdiği morbidite hem de fetusunpsikotrop ilaçlara maruz kalmasının riskleri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.Bunlara ek olarak lohusalıkta hastalık yineleme riski çarpıcı bir biçimdeartmaktadır. Tüm psikotrop ilaçların bir ölçüde anne sütüne geçtiği oldukça iyibilinmektedir. Bu yüzden emziren bir anneye ilaç başlanırken bu psikotropilaçların bebek üzerindeki etkileri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu derlemenin amacı, gebe ve emziren iki uçlu hastalarda mevcutsağaltım seçeneklerinin güvenlik profillerini gözden geçirmektir. İlk olarak,gebelik ve lohusalıkta her bir ilacın yapısal bozukluk, yenidoğan toksisitesi,nörodavranışsal gelişim ve beklenmeyen olaylar üzerindeki etkileri güncel yazınışığında tartışılmıştır. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda, gebelik planındanlohusalığa kadar olan dönemde iki uçlu hastaların tedavilerinin düzenlenmesineyönelik pratik öneriler yapılmıştır.
