A woman’s Mental Health is most important during and after pregnancy. In general, if you have a Mental Health condition requiring treatment, such as Depression, Anxiety or a Psychiatric Illness, it is best if you continue to manage this with your normal treating Doctor (especially your GP) or Psychologist. However, please make sure that Dr O’Callaghan is aware of any treatment that is happening and any change in your condition.
