If serotonin plays a crucial role in fetal development (which it does) & if SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system (which they do) then the SSRIs must alter fetal development - and the public should be warned. This point was not disputed at yesterday's panel.

I was honoured to take part in the FDA's panel on the risks of SSRIs in pregnancy yesterday chaired by @DrMakaryFDA and @TracyBethHoeg. This is a huge issue with so many young women taking these drugs. I hope the UK and other countries will listen

10% is a very conservative estimate and we have witnessed an explosion of women taking an SSRI post 2020. A critical meeting and I am proud to have a seat at the table. We have been encouraged to speak from the heart. Thats all I know.
