Maternal Use Of Antipsychotics During Pregnancy Appears Not To Have Negative Impact On Children’s Intelligence, Researchers Say

MedPage Today (8/15, Monaco) reports, “Use of antipsychotics during pregnancy didn’t negatively impact a child’s intelligence,” investigators concluded in a study that compared “the standardized test scores of over 600,000 Danish schoolchildren.” That study revealed that “average language scores were not significantly different for those born to mothers who filled a prescription for an antipsychotic during pregnancy,” and the same applied to math scores. The findings were published online Aug. 15 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
