Women confronting depression have a range of challenges to address, both seen and unseen. One of their unseen challenges may be related to the antidepressant medication. Although many patients don’t realize it, antidepressant medications like Zoloft (sertraline) and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can have serious repercussions if the patient is pregnant or becomes pregnant.
Medical studies into the effects of Zoloft exposure on a developing fetus during the first trimester have found a notable correlation between Zoloft and the probability that a range of birth defects will develop. These life-altering and potentially fatal birth defects can be physically painful for the infant and emotionally distressing for his or her parents. For many families, it’s important to consult with a knowledgeable physician.
