Topic:
For pregnant women, or women receiving preconception care, with depression what are the comparative harms or benefits for both fetus/infant and the mother of continuing treatment with anti-depressants?

Response:
Each case should be considered individually as no two patients are the same and therefor no one treatment will work for everyone. The use of holistic treatments and therapy should be utilized when possible. However, in most cases holistic treatments are not enough so the use of antidepressant medications becomes necessary. It is very important to treat the patients depression. Studies have shown that untreated depression causes many health concerns and puts both the baby and mother at risk. The risks associated with untreated depression out weigh any risks to the fetus. There is also lots of research that needs to be done on the actual risks of taking antidepressant medications during pregnancy and the postpartum periods.
