'Exposure to antidepressants in late stages of pregnancy is linked to motor development problems particularly in boys, a new study finds.
Considering the high prevalence of depression during pregnancy, many expectant mothers use antidepressants even though their potential effects on the developing fetus remain unclear.
According to the study published in Pediatrics, newborns especially baby boys born to mothers, who used antidepressants during pregnancy, began to sit and walk later than those whose mothers had untreated depression.
Compared to their peers, these children were twice more likely to be unable to sit without support at the age of six. By the age of 19 months, they had attention problems and were unable to occupy themselves for longer than 15 minutes.
"The results of our study suggest an effect of antidepressant exposure on fetal brain development," concluded lead researcher Lars Henning Pedersen.'
