may decide whether to allow treatment if the child is
unable to provide true informed consent (Preston et al.,
2021). Although children may not be able to give legal
consent, they should be included in discussions about

into treatment decisions may encourage treatment
adherence. Positive experiences with providers and
treatment can help instill the perception that treatment is
beneficial, which can support positive mental health
behaviors in the future.

documentation when discussing information (such as
taking psychotropic drugs) with pregnant patients? -
Answers-Informed consent should include

potential risks of continuing or discontinuing treatment
Referral to perinatal psychiatrist if the patient is at high risk
or on a high-risk medication.
