Corrupted Medical Societies Push SSRIs For Pregnant Women in Defiance of FDA
Originally published via Armageddon Prose:
The pharmaceutical industry talking points that America’s very own Pravda, NPR — which can be counted on to impressively get almost everything medically related wrong all the time — is currently parroting, laundered through medical associations so as to create the veneer of legitimacy, concern the notorious class of antidepressant drugs, SSRIS, the dangers and inefficacies of which we have previously expounded upon here.

Via NPR (emphasis added):
“Nearly one in five pregnant women and new moms in this country suffers from anxiety and depression. And 6-8% of pregnant women are prescribed a group of antidepressants called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).
But a recent expert panel organized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cast doubt on the safety of SSRIs — even though these drugs are largely considered safe by healthcare providers.
Those comments have sparked a swath of criticism from a number of prominent medical societies.
"Untreated or undertreated depression during pregnancy carries health risks, such as suicide, preterm birth, preeclampsia, and low birth weight," the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine wrote in a statement late last month.”
The rebuke came in response to an expert panel convened by the FDA to discuss the cornucopia of evidence that SSRIs don’t actually treat depression and, in fact, pose serious risks to pregnant women and their unborn babies.
