Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. As far as pregnancy is concerned, if her physiological condition is healthy, the baby should not have any health related issues. Yet, the fact that her mental health is not satisfactory goes a long way into the upbringing of the child. Moreover, drugs used to treat her mental condition should be used with caution during pregnancy as most of them are teratogeneic. In the situation described by you, couple counselling should be done to achieve good result. More than medication, your friend needs a patient listener and counselor with whom she can confidently share her sorrow. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
