Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants taken by a woman during pregnancy do not impact her infant's growth over the first year, reports a new study from a Northwestern Medicine scientist.

The infants whose mothers took antidepressants were shorter at birth, but the difference disappeared by two weeks of age.
