MedPage Today (3/4, D’Ambrosio) reported, “Despite treatment with antidepressant medication, a significant proportion of women still reported symptoms of anxiety and depression during pregnancy, according to a prospective study” published in Psychiatric Research and Clinical Practice. Among the “group of 88 women who took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), about a third had clinically relevant symptoms of depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period, reported” researchers. Furthermore, “only 18% to 29% of pregnant women who took antidepressants maintained remission, the researchers wrote.”
