Antidepressants in pregnancy – turning a blind eye, again

This blog is co-authored with Dr Adam Urato, Maternal-Foetal Medicine specialist

You might think that telling women about the potential risks of taking antidepressants during pregnancy would be uncontroversial. You might think that a drug regulator considering the evidence on these risks would be uncontroversial. You would be wrong!

Quotes by Joanna Moncrieff (?)

“This view of psychiary [as a genuine scientific activity] is premised on the idea that modern drugs are disease- or symptom-specific treatments; that they work by reversing some or all of an underlying physical pathology. It is the idea of the specificity of action that makes drug treatment appear to be a therapeutic, medical enterprise. If, in contrast, modern psychiatric treatments are not specific, if they act merely by inducing psychoactive effects that suppress or contain psychiatric distress and problematic behaviours, then psychiatry has not moved far from its historical roots as a [...] medicalized form of social control.”
― Joanna Moncrieff, De-Medicalizing Misery: Psychiatry, Psychology and the Human Condition
