According to Dr. Manevitz, it is critical to caution currently pregnant women who are on antidepressants who read about this study to not panic and suddenly discontinue their medication. They could go through withdrawal symptoms that could be a higher risk than continuing on their medicine. They should consult their obstetrician and psychiatrist before deciding anything. Every pregnancy needs to be considered individually for the risk benefit of treatment. While it is a cause for concern, the rates are still low.
