flag Stopping antidepressants during pregnancy nearly doubles risk of mental health emergencies, study finds.

flag Pregnant individuals who stop taking antidepressants face nearly double the risk of a mental health emergency, such as suicide attempts or psychosis, compared to those who continue medication, a 2026 study found. flag The research, based on data from nearly 4,000 patients, showed higher emergency risks in the first and ninth months of pregnancy after discontinuation. flag While SSRIs and SNRIs are not linked to birth defects or developmental issues, untreated depression increases risks for both mother and baby, including preterm birth and low birth weight. flag Experts urge careful, individualized treatment plans and caution against stopping medication without medical guidance.
