OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the comparative benefits and harms in both mother and child of antidepressant treatment for depression in pregnant or postpartum women. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov (inception to July 2013), manufacturers, and reference lists. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: Two reviewers independently selected studies of pregnant women with depression comparing antidepressants with each other, placebo or no treatment, or nondrug treatments… Expand

A systematic review of maternal antidepressant use in pregnancy and short- and long-term offspring’s outcomes
TLDR
There is little robust evidence indicating a detrimental effect of antidepressant use during pregnancy on LBW and neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioural outcomes and more rigorous study designs are needed. Expand
Antidepressant use during pregnancy and risk of postpartum hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
The findings of this meta-analysis support an increased risk of PPH in women exposure to antidepressant during late gestation in women with exposure to non-SRI antidepressants. Expand
Use of Antidepressants During Pregnancy?: What to Consider when Weighing Treatment with Antidepressants Against Untreated Depression
TLDR
Perinatal psychiatry has collected enough evidence to suggest that, if the clinical picture warrants it, the use of many antidepressants, especially the SSRIs, is favorable compared to exposing mother and child to untreated depressive illness. Expand
A placebo controlled treatment trial of sertraline and interpersonal psychotherapy for postpartum depression.
TLDR
The results do suggest that active interventions with or without medication delivered over a period of twelve weeks can lead to significant improvement in depression and social adjustment among postpartum women. Expand
Appraisal of systematic reviews on interventions for postpartum depression: systematic review
TLDR
Overall the systematic reviews on interventions for PPD are of low-moderate quality and are not improving over time. Expand
Maternal Use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Lengthening of the Umbilical Cord: Indirect Evidence of Increased Foetal Activity—A Retrospective Cohort Study
TLDR
Pregnant women exposed to SSRI medication had significantly lower Apgar scores and more admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit than unexposed pregnant women, and SSRI exposure appeared to be associated with increased umbilical cord length. Expand
Disparities in antidepressant use in pregnancy
TLDR
Non-Hispanic White women were more likely than non-White women to be using antidepressants during pregnancy, and this disparity warrants investigation with the goal of optimizing maternal mental health while minimizing potential adverse sequelae of antidepressants on developing fetuses. Expand
The Effect of Orange Peel Essential Oil on Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
TLDR
Orange peel essential oil did not reduce postpartum depression and anxiety and a general linear model was used to analyze the data. Expand
Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders According to Period of Prenatal Antidepressant Exposure: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TLDR
There is a significant association between increased ASD risk and maternal use of antidepressants during pregnancy; however, it appears to be more consistent during the preconception period than during each trimester. Expand
Using Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparisons and Network Meta-analyses to Compare Efficacy of Brexanolone Injection with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for Treating Postpartum Depression
TLDR
It is suggested that brexanolone demonstrated larger differences in CFB for both patient- and clinician-reported PPD outcomes and at all investigated time points after adjusting for differences between placebos in the included studies. Expand

Selected pregnancy and delivery outcomes after exposure to antidepressant medication: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
Although statistically significant associations between antidepressant exposure and pregnancy and delivery outcomes were identified, group differences were small and scores in the exposed group were typically within the normal ranges, indicating the importance of considering clinical significance. Expand
The impact of maternal depression during pregnancy on perinatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
Maternal depression during pregnancy is associated with increased odds for premature delivery and decreased breastfeeding initiation; however, the effects are modest. Expand
The impact of depression and fluoxetine treatment on obstetrical outcome
TLDR
This study prospectively followed women over the course of pregnancy to assess the impact of depression and/or antidepressant treatment on obstetrical outcome and did not demonstrate an adverse effect of fluoxetine exposure per se. Expand
Pregnancy Outcome After Exposure to Antidepressants and the Role of Maternal Depression: Results From the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study
TLDR
This study does not suggest a strongly increased risk of malformations, preterm birth, or low birth weight following prenatal exposure to antidepressants after adjustments for level of maternal depression and various sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Expand
Does fetal exposure to SSRIs or maternal depression impact infant growth?
TLDR
In utero exposure to major depression or SSRI antidepressants did not affect infant growth with respect to weight, length, or head circumference from birth through 12 months of age. Expand
Elevated risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women with depression: depression or antidepressants?
TLDR
It is suggested that women who use antidepressants during pregnancy, especially SNRIs and TCAs, have an elevated risk of preeclampsia, which may reflect drug effects or more severe depression. Expand
Major depression and antidepressant treatment: impact on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
TLDR
Infants exposed to either SSRIs or depression continuously across gestation were more likely to be born preterm than infants with partial or no exposure and neither SSRI nor depression exposure increased risk for minor physical anomalies or reduced maternal weight gain. Expand
Postpartum Depression: A Randomized Trial of Sertraline Versus Nortriptyline
TLDR
Symptom reduction and improvement in functioning in women with postpartum major depression treated with a tricyclic antidepressant versus a serotonin reuptake inhibitor were compared and Psychosocial functioning improved similarly in both drug-treated groups of mothers. Expand
Sexual function in postpartum women treated for depression: results from a randomized trial of nortriptyline versus sertraline.
TLDR
In postpartum women, sexual concerns are primarily affected by remission of depression rather than side effects of either a tricyclic or serotonergic antidepressant. Expand
The management of depression during pregnancy: a report from the American Psychiatric Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
TLDR
Antidepressant use in pregnancy is well studied, but available research has not yet adequately controlled for other factors that may influence birth outcomes including maternal illness or problematic health behaviors that can adversely affect pregnancy. Expand
