Abstract

Depression in pregnancy is characterized by unrealistically heightened perception of teratogenic risk. Appropriate counseling regarding the exposure at hand can assist in reducing maternal concerns. Addressing depression during pregnancy and, in parallel, providing evidencebased counseling and reassurance regarding different antidepressants in pregnancy may avert major health risks.
