The clinical problem
Medication exposure is only one part of the decision.
Perinatal psychopharmacology requires simultaneous attention to psychiatric relapse, maternal functioning, medication effects, alternatives, treatment change, obstetric outcomes, neonatal planning, postpartum transition, and lactation. A single “risk rating” cannot represent that work.
The Compass structures those considerations without pretending that a form can reproduce a complete psychiatric, obstetric, medical, social, or preference assessment.
