1. Prenatal Genetic Counselling

Prenatal genetic counseling in the context of psychiatric conditions involves meeting with a specialized counselor or geneticist during pregnancy to discuss the risks of inherited mental health disorders. The counselor reviews family medical history and helps expectant parents understand how genetics might influence their child's mental health. They provide information about testing options, potential outcomes, and support resources. The goal is to empower parents with knowledge so they can make informed decisions about their pregnancy and prepare for any potential challenges regarding their child's mental well-being.
