AbstractI read with interest the article by Lupattelli et al., "Effect of Time-Dependent Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Antidepressants During Pregnancy on Behavioral, Emotional, and Social Development in Preschool-Aged Children,"1 which describes the effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use in pregnancy on mental health in offspring, in the March issue of the Journal. The investigators found that SSRI use in late pregnancy resulted in greater risk for anxious/depressed behaviors in children by 5 years of age compared with unexposed children.Copyright © 2018 American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
