Untreated depression and antidepressants may both affect unborn child - The Washington Post: How might an unborn child’s development be affected if the mother takes antidepressants during pregnancy? The study found that, among the women with untreated depression, fetal growth overall was slower compared with the fetuses of all other study participants. Among women who took SSRIs, fetal weight gain was not different but head sizes were the smallest, on average; their babies also were twice as likely to be born prematurely. No link was found between symptoms of depression and below-normal birth weight.
