Antidepressants taken during pregnancy increase risk of autism
Articles reporting negatively on antidepressants should come with a huge disclaimer to those taking them that they should continue to do so unless their doctor &#x2F; psychiatrist recommends otherwise.<p>It seems obvious, but after being mostly depression &#x2F; anxiety free for four years and reading an influx of articles claiming that they do nothing or very little based on new research, I decided to quit. Huge mistake that very nearly ruined my life.<p>It turned out that despite all the lifestyle changes I made as well as therapy I received to mitigate depression and anxiety, the pills were almost solely responsible for my recovery. Restarting the SSRI of course did the trick, but they don&#x27;t work fast and I lost nearly a year of my life. I currently regard this as the worst decision I have ever made.
