Özet

Background: A substantial number of women become pregnant unintentionally, and unintended, but continued pregnancies can cause immense stress, particularly in cases where the pregnancy is unwanted. Failure to adopt may result in the first onset of psychiatric illness in vulnerable individuals or may exacerbate pre-existing mental illnesses. We investigate here unintended and unwanted pregnancy rates in psychiatric disease, epilepsy, and healthy groups, and further assess whether unintended and unwanted pregnancies are associated with discontinuations of medical treatment and newborn complications.
