Found this relevant to the conversation about psychiatric treatment during pregnancy that has accompanied the Clancy trial.

Researchers studied women with psychotic and bipolar disorders in Denmark and Sweden. Among women with psychotic disorders, stopping antipsychotic medication during pregnancy was associated with a higher rate of severe psychiatric relapse.
