Study of anti-depressants taken by pregnant moms shows benefits to 12-year-old children

The Vancouver Sun reported on a UBC study that examined the impacts of anti-depressants taken by pregnant mothers on their children.

Sarah Hutchison, study lead and senior author, said “there is evidence both from animal models and human studies that [anti-depressant] exposure does potentially change brain development. We don’t know what the long-term impact of what will be.”
