What can Psychiatrists Do?
* Regular contact w/patients of reproductive age.
* Discuss reproductive health nonjudgmentally, confidentially.
* Address pregnancy ambivalence, patient concerns openly. Let them open up. Dont be a paternal asshat.
* Act as advocates w/OTHER health professionals who are being dicks and reducing women to the egg in their ovary.
* Do be willing to prescribe (after discussing) teratogenic meds. Women arent an egg.
