Fortunately
there are now a number of new medications that are generally
considered to be safe in pregnancy and during breast feeding.
Sometimes
women who are pregnant have a difficult time making decisions
about treating their depression because they are concerned
about exposing their babies to medicine. Your doctor can help
you with this important decision.
When
women have significant symptoms such as great difficulty sleeping,
getting appropriate nutrition or when they have suicidal thinking,
the risks of undertreating the illness are much greater than
the risks of treating it with medicine.
