## Synopsis

A serious car accident brings Amber Smith (Christa B. Allen) and Jessica Moore's (Sarah Minnich) lives crashing together. Both do not fare the same after the wreck however, and the impact to Jessica's life is much more severe. She was eight months pregnant when the tragedy occurred, and her injuries cost her the life of her unborn child. It also prevented her from ever getting pregnant again, and her marriage deteriorated soon after. Jessica isn't taking these setbacks well. She refuses to acknowledge she caused the accident, by texting while driving. She's tried to adopt, but her mental instability has blocked that option. With every disappointment, Jessica blames Amber more and more. Amber is happy, healthy and expecting her first child with her husband, Kyle (Grayson Berry). Why should Amber be allowed to be happy, while she suffers? Jessica has decided Amber's happiness has lasted long enough. It's not just about fixing her own life, it's also about destroying Amber's. Jessica has a plan, will Amber recognize her machinations, before it's too late?

I know this movie doesn't have any haute couture, or even high fashion, but when "Jessica" is in bitch mode, she *wears* her clothes, they definitely don't wear her! And she looks great doing it ;)

"Amber" is wearing 'The Teale' a silk, wrap around dress, by *Realisation Par,* on her first luncheon with "Jessica"

I believe "Jessica" is wearing a La Garçonne trenchcoat. If you think I'm wrong, please let me know!

## Delusional Disorder

In 'Pregnant and Deadly', "Jessica" first has *Delusional Disorder,* as a result of trauma (the loss of her child and her fertility). "Jessica" has the *Persecutory Type,* in which suffers believe someone is trying to, or has harmed them, or someone they love (in this case, rather than deal with her own culpability in her accident, she chooses to blame "Amber," saying things like, "Amber stole my baby, she now owes me a baby!".)

At the end of the movie, "Jessica" has slipped into schizophreniform disorder. The added trauma from Dave's rejection of her plan for a new family, added too much strain to "Jessica's" fragile mental state, causing her to slip into psychosis.

These types of personality disorders are common themes in Lifetime movies.

**DELUSIONAL DISORDER** is a serious mental illness, often referred to as *psychosis,* or *having a psychotic break*.
People who are affected have difficulty in determining fantasy from reality. They live in a perpetual delusional state, misinterpreting past or present events. What's worse, unlike other types of psychosis, their delusions can be based on real life scenarios,\* making them harder to identify. They also appear to function in normal life, even holding down jobs, and participating in relationships. The sufferer's behavior is not bizarre, *except* where it intersects with their delusion.

* In other types of psychosis, the delusions might be easier for professionals, or loved ones to spot, because of their outlandishness. IE: Being controlled by aliens, wearing a foil hat, so others can't read their mind, etc. But with *Delusional Disorder*, the delusions might take the form of real world scenarios. IE: A coworker is obsessed with me, and following me around.

## Schizophreniform Disorder

**SCHIZOPHRENIFORM DISORDER** is a \*short term mental illness, where the sufferer will experience psychotic episodes, and bizarre delusions. This can include hallucinations, delusional untrue beliefs, and erratic, confused speech and behaviors. The exact mechanism of the disease is unknown, but there are known contributing factors. Predisposition due to genetics, can be a factor in schizophreniform disorder. Other causes could be a change in \*neurotransmitters, resulting from \*hormonal changes, or other somatic problems. Extreme trauma can also be a cause of schizophreniform disorder. This can be either from the traumatic event itself (the trauma being too painful to handle), or from \*changes in the brain's chemistry, due to the traumatic event.

* Usually lasting from 1-6 months

* Chemical messengers in the brain that help mood and cognition

* As in postpartum psychosis

* Trauma can alter the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, often requiring a psychoactive medication to correct the deficit.
