32.3 DATA on Increased Risk of SSRIs in pregnancy w/ Adam Urato, MD, OB/GYN

Renegade Psych

Hope you enjoy this 3rd installment of a series on medication risk during pregnancy (and more) with Dr. Adam Urato, aka THE HAPPY WARRIOR. Dr. Urato is making his grand visual debut with Renegade Psych, though we discussed similar topics in our previous audio-only interview available on spotify and apple. In part 1, we discussed medication exposures during pregnancy, and more specifically, the data and research behind the risks of SSRIs, aka 'antidepressants,' during pregnancy. In Part 2, we discussed Dr. Urato's role in getting Makena taken off the market (though it took 20 years to do so), pharmaceutical corruption, and the role of misinformation in propaganda campaigns (right AND left-wing propaganda, folks!) Here in part 3, Dr. Urato gives strong evidence via multiple data sources on how and why SSRIs SHOULD BE CATEGORY D in PREGNANCY, indicating that there is human data revealing teratogenicity and fetal risk. Dr. Urato and I have no financial disclosures. We are talking about this because it matters to us and we don't want to see patients being led astray by pharmaceutical data, but rather want them to have open access to the same information he and I are reviewing in formulating our opinions on these oftentimes difficult-to-discuss topics. Dr. Urato's catchphrase is that CHEMICALS HAVE CONSEQUENCES (and medications are chemicals). Hope you enjoy and follow up for a posting of the entirety of this interview later this week.
