Description

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has convened a panel to discuss the use of a common antidepressant during pregnancy.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used to treat depression and other mental health conditions.

Experts are concerned the panel has cast undue doubt on the medication, and changes shouldn’t be made without evidence.
