Antidepressants used during pregnancy linked to neonatal withdrawal  syndrome 
Babies exposed to anti-depressants called selective  serotonin-reuptake 
inhibitors (SSRIs) in the womb may be born with withdrawal  syndrome, suggests a 
_study_ 
(http://www.thelancet.com/journal/vol365/iss9458/full/llan.365.9458.primary_research.32169.1)  published in this week’s issue. The authors conclude 
that doctors  should avoid or cautiously manage the prescribing of these drugs 
to pregnant  women.
