Prenatal antidepressant utilization and trajectories in Switzerland using the MAMA cohort
The prevalence of antidepressant dispensation during pregnancy was similar to the prevalence in Europe. The most prevalent trajectory was episodic dispensation and a fifth of women stopped antidepressants before pregnancy and another fifth during pregnancy, which is not in line with recommendations. Future studies should investigate patient and clinician level reasons for discontinuation.
