"I was shocked to learn there has not been a single randomized controlled trial — the gold standard for scientific research — investigating the effects of SSRIs during pregnancy...The studies of pregnant women taking SSRIs, like the ones that have led to headlines about autism, birth defects, and preterm birth, were all observational studies — meaning researchers collected data from health and prescription records (the women might or might not have taken the medication) or relied on patients themselves to accurately remember and report their own data."
