To investigate the impact of gestational exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on offspring neurodevelopment. This is a cohort study using national register data in Finland between the years 1996-2010. Pregnant women and their offspring were categorized into four groups: SSRI exposed (n=15,729); exposed to psychiatric disorder, no antidepressants (n=9,651); exposed to SSRIs only before pregnancy (n=7,980); and unexposed to antidepressants and psychiatric disorders (n=31,394). We investigated the cumulative incidence of offspring diagnoses of depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) for the four groups from birth to 14 years, adjusting for confounders. The cumulative incidence of depression among offspring exposed prenatally to SSRIs was 8.2% (95% CI, 3.1-13.3%) by age 14.9, compared to 1.9% (95% CI, 0.9-2.9%) in the psychiatric disorder, no medication group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.78; 95% CI, 1.12-2.82; p=.02) and to 2.8% (95% CI, 1.4-4.3%) in the SSRI discontinued group (HR 1.84; 95% CI, 1.14-2.97; p=.01). Rates of anxiety, ASD, and ADHD diagnoses were comparable to rates in offspring of mothers with a psychiatric disorder but no medication during pregnancy. Comparing SSRI exposed to unexposed, the HRs were significantly elevated for each outcome. Prenatal SSRI exposure was associated with increased rates of depression diagnoses in early adolescence but not with ASD or ADHD. Until confirmed, these findings must be balanced against the substantial adverse consequences of untreated maternal depression.
