Abstract

Recent studies have powerfully demonstrated that women with depression, whether treated with SSRIs or skip treatment, report double risk of cardiovascular malformations. Yet, physicians and epidemiologists continue to terrify women who are at serious life threatening risks if not treated pharmacologically, with non evidence-based information. This paper calls for immediate stop of such practice.
