Psychiatric News (10/3) reports, “Children who were exposed to antidepressants in the womb do not appear to have an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders,” investigators concluded in a study that “included over 145,000 women who took an antidepressant during the second half of pregnancy and over three million who did not,” and then tracked “the children of these women…from birth until they were diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder, died, disenrolled, or reached age 14.” The findings were published online Oct. 3 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
