Psych Meds Increase Risk for Preterm Delivery

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - Byron Richards, CCN

Big Pharma has no scruples when it comes to target markets.  Children are high on the list – and pregnant women have moved into the crosshairs.  The infamous Mother’s Act has now passed the House and sits in committee in the Senate.  A new study shows that any woman taking psych meds during pregnancy doubles her risk of a pre-term delivery.  That risk triples if the woman also has a history of depression.  The news is unlikely to phase the Big Pharma push to get 80% of pregnant women on meds.

There are so many safe things women can do to support their mood, as needed, during pregnancy.  Psych meds are not one of them.  I explain what the Mother’s Act is all about in a posting I did titled, Branding Pregnancy as Mental Illness.
