Antidepressant Birth Defects

The most common treatment for depression is the use of antidepressant medications—specifically, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

SSRIs, such as Prozac® and Zoloft®, are generally effective at treating the symptoms of depression, but there is growing evidence that these drugs may be dangerous to a developing fetus. Studies reported by several sources, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, have linked the use of SSRIs by pregnant mothers to various birth defects in their children, including:

  • autism,
  • heart valve defects,
  • persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN),
  • and more.
