Thanks! We just had insurance claims here so couldn't look into kids or health but I agree with your hunch about perinatal depression.

Antidepressant Use Before, During, and After Pregnancy This cohort study investigates rates of antidepressant use among women 24 months before and after the birth of a child.

New paper with Devin Pope and Carla Colina: in a large US sample, we find that ~half of women discontinue antidepressants during pregnancy without substitution to psychotherapy, suggesting a large gap in women's mental health care during a critical period.
