- Title
Comment on: "Should Antidepressants be Avoided in Pregnancy?".
- Authors
Braillon, Alain; Bewley, Susan; Blumsohn, Aubrey; Naudet, Florian
- Abstract
Lastly, there are no controlled studies showing that antidepressants could improve obstetric or mental health outcomes or have clinically meaningful effects on maternal-infant attachment. Thirdly, the authors rightly concluded that "decisions on antidepressant treatment during pregnancy should be made individually based on evidence from properly controlled studies" [[1]]. From a public health perspective, even "small" risks can have large and devastating consequences when antidepressant prescription is so frequent - up to 5.5% during pregnancy in North America [[2]].
