• During pregnancy, its quite difficult for any
  woman to confront a treatment for clinical
  depression. This happens because theres a high
  health risk if one consumes antidepressant
  medicines during pregnancy. However, by visiting
  the doctor at the right time and with efforts
  from the patients side, this issue can be
  resolved.
• Generally, it has been noticed that women are
  more emotional and sentimental in the initial
  couple of days of pregnancy. Around 10 pregnant
  females require antidepressant treatment
  prescribed by the doctors. However, the
  percentage is a lot higher than that since
  females are approached quite softly during
  pregnancy and this becomes a neglecting
  psychological illness.

• Women become more emotional and depressed because
  of the excessive safety measures and over
  cautious subjective view taken during the
  pregnancy. This may result in a serious
  psychiatric effect on a pregnant woman.
• Theres a high possibility that the
  antidepressants can hurt the unborn child of a
  pregnant lady. However, even excessive stress and
  depression can hurt the infant. Considering these
  points, it relies upon the seriousness of the
  illness, the decision of the guardians of a
  patient, and the recommendation of the doctors.

• Depression in a pregnant lady can result in
  developing a few issues for the unborn child.
  Some issues that a child might develop due to the
  depression of his/her mother are irritability,
  slowness in activities, and less attentiveness.
  Short growth period is likewise one of these
  effects. The consumption of antidepressants can
  result in some major issues such as pulmonary
  hypertension, weight loss and cardiovascular
  deformities in the infant.
• Recognizing depression is exceptionally difficult
  during pregnancy. For the most part, females end
  up becoming really emotional, homesick and
  hyperactive during pregnancy. Extra attention and
  a few physical changes can make them sad or
  upset. Sudden mood swings, low vitality are
  normal signs in every pregnant lady.

• Those females, who have low clinical depression,
  can become pregnant. Remember, depression and
  PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) are connected
  with each other. PCOS is an illness that causes
  trouble for women who are trying to become
  pregnant. However, it can be cured by visiting
  the best gynec in Mumbai.
• While planning for pregnancy, you should stop all
  types of antidepressant medicines at least 6
  months before. You should consult your
  psychiatrist or gynaecologist before starting or
  stopping any type of medicine. If youve severe
  clinical depression, there is no point in taking
  the risk for both, child and the mother.

• In some situations, even serious patients can
  have kids, however it is quite unsafe. Such women
  need to be treated with proper medicines,
  therapies, meetings, and consultations. By and
  large, it is proposed that those females who are
  somewhat depressed should stop medicines, and
  even the individuals who are in medium
  seriousness level can do so. Visit your
