Ep 1189 | SSRIs Are Rewiring Babies’ Brains — and Killing Their Moms | Guest: Dr. Adam Urato
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Examining the Risks of SSRIs in Pregnancy
This chapter examines the growing trend of SSRIs being prescribed to pregnant women and the evolving medical guidelines that accompany this shift. It highlights the need for compassionate care and informed patient decision-making regarding the potential risks for both mothers and their babies.
Today, we're chatting with Dr. Adam Urato, a fetal and maternal medicine specialist, to discuss the lack of informed consent given to pregnant women concerning certain medications they're taking, namely SSRI antidepressants. Dr. Urato tells us about the crucial role serotonin plays in fetal development and the negative effects that SSRI use in pregnancy can have on an unborn baby. We also discuss the increase in medical interventions in pregnancy in recent decades and how these interventions may not be as positive as they seem. And is the pharmaceutical industry to blame for doctors' lack of concern over SSRI use?
