Unfortunately, exist a lot of birth defects caused by antidepressant drugs. I know that antidepressants members of SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) family can cause :

  • Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
  • Heart disease

I highly recommend to avoid these drugs and try to treat depression with other methods like healthy food, sport and family.
