Prenatal use of SSRIs may raise risks for autism, developmental delays

Prenatal use of SSRIs may raise risks for autism, developmental delays


Boys born to mothers who took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors during pregnancy had nearly threefold increased odds of developing autism spectrum disorder than those unexposed to SSRIs while in the womb, a study showed. Prenatal exposure to the antidepressants was also associated with a higher risk of developmental delays. The findings appear in the journal Pediatrics.
