IRP#ZU-IRP#11079-8/10-2023.Practicing ethical decision-making is crucial for providing clinical treatment. Such decisions are frequently made challenging due to a lack of knowledge and the mother’s ability to handle the associated complexities and uncertainties that affect the patient’s current level of functioning and ability to take care of her child. At the end of the survey, we raised concerns regarding the red flags, such as suicidal thoughts, and called for a revisit for the psychiatrist’s evaluation of the discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to using medication.
