James Walker, a professor emeritus of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Leeds, said the research had helped to “cut through the noise” regarding recent concerns regarding whether medications taken by mothers during pregnancy could affect their babies.
“The practical message is straightforward” Walker said. “Women with moderate or severe depression should not stop their antidepressants in pregnancy out of fear of causing autism or ADHD. Depression that goes untreated in pregnancy carries real risks of its own, for the mother, the pregnancy and for the developing baby, including a higher chance of premature birth, postnatal depression and difficulties bonding with the baby. For milder depression, talking therapies and other non-medication approaches are usually tried first, in line with current guidelines. As always, decisions in pregnancy are personal and should be made with a clinician who knows the woman’s history.”
Where did I stated that women should not take antidepressants after their doctor has prescribed them?
stop arguing with your imaginary self.
Pregnant women taking antidepressants have a prescription from their doctor. You advised against taking them regardless.
I’m done arguing about pancakes and waffles with you.
Where did said that women taking antidepressant should stop taking them?
You are arguing with your own imaginary pancakes and waffles
Maybe one more time since your reading abilities are apparently hindered.
Where do you read there that “women shouldn’t take it despite being prescribed that by their medics”??? Or text is showing differently here for each of us??? Oh but i forgot, you just like arguing with yourself just to have something to grasp on to…
Here it is again, just to be sure you got it.
