We can not comment: We can not comment without knowing what medicines she is taking and how long she is taking them.She should talk to her treating doctors if she wants to get pregnant

Hard to say: Some of the psychiatric medications are known to trigger birth defects in a percentage of exposed fetuses.There are also many psychiatric medications that have little effect on the fetus.If she could switch to a med with less problems childbearing might be less worrisome.However, it sounds like she is not aware of this possibility or not interested in the idea.
