Patient's question:
Since 2010, I have been taking Citalopram medication until now. Now I am pregnant, is this baby healthy?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the impact of drugs on the fetus, current research primarily focuses on women. As for men taking medication, there is limited research, and it is generally believed that the impact should be minimal.Additionally, regarding genetic issues, we can only say that depression has a genetic predisposition. If depression occurs frequently in a patient's family, the likelihood of inheritance is greater. There are many triggers for genetic counseling, and patients need timely and immediate treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable hospital. Pay attention to the progression of the condition, avoid self-treatment, and prioritize self-care, including a balanced diet, maintaining cleanliness, and, best of all, wishing you a speedy recovery!
