Some evidence suggests opinions vary depending on the specific disorder for which the fetus is at risk. In a 1999 study by Milner et al. (1999), 85% of psychiatrists and residents at one department of psychiatry supported prenatal testing for bipolar disorder, 81% for schizophrenia, 75% for depression, 74% for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and 51% for panic disorder. A more recent survey of psychiatrists by Finn et al. (2005) showed different percentages but similar variability with regard to testing members of affected families and the general population respectively: affirmative responses were obtained from 58% and 14% for bipolar disorder, 70% and 19% for schizophrenia, and 35% and 10% for panic disorder.
