I have a patient who discontinued her selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor in pregnancy against my advice owing to fears it might affect the baby. She eventually attempted suicide. How can we deal effectively with this situation? The “cold turkey” discontinuation of needed antidepressants is a serious public health issue strengthened by fears and misinformation. It is very important for physicians to ensure that evidence-based information is given to women in a way that is easy to understand. The risks of untreated moderate to severe depression far outweigh the theoretical risks of taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
我有一位患者,她因担心会影响胎儿,不顾我的建议在孕期停用了选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂。她最终企图自杀。我们如何有效应对这种情况呢?由于恐惧和错误信息,突然停用必需的抗抑郁药是一个严重的公共卫生问题。医生务必以易于理解的方式向女性提供循证信息,这非常重要。未经治疗的中度至重度抑郁症的风险远远超过服用选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂的理论风险。
