Baby's language development might be affected by Mom's depression: A new study shows that maternal depression during pregnancy and its treatment with a commonly used group of antidepressants is linked to the development of language in babies.
Although pregnant mothers are usually concerned about the effects of taking antidepressants on their children, these medications might in fact speed up babies’ language development, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia, Harvard University and Children’s Hospital of British Columbia, and published on Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
