N2  - Antidepressants (ADs) are among the most frequently used medications in pregnancy. ADs can cross the placental barrier (Rampono et al. Pharmacopsychiatry 2009;42(3):95-100, Loughhead et al. Biol Psychiatry 2006;59(3):287-90), resulting in a dysfunction of the serotonergic and norepinephrine systems, which could cause inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity behaviors as exhibited in ADHD. Several epidemiological studies have investigated the potential link between AD exposure during pregnancy and the risk of attention deficit disorder with/without hyperactivity (ADHD) in children. However, findings have been conflicting. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.<br><br>This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
