Declarations
:
: All participants were provided with electronic informed consent after receiving clear explanations regarding the study’s objectives, data confidentiality, voluntary participation, and the right to withdraw. The questionnaire did not contain any sensitive questions, and data collection was performed anonymously. We affirm that all relevant ethical guidelines have been adhered to, and any necessary approvals from the ethics committee have been obtained. Approval was received from the ethical committee of the family medicine department, the faculty of medicine at Zagazig University, and from the patients included in the study. 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.
