On Monday morning, the FDA hosted a 10-person expert panel on the use during pregnancy of SSRIs, which include medications like fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft) and citalopram (Celexa), among others.

An agency-sponsored forum included critics of psychiatry who believe the drugs can harm a developing fetus. Other experts said antidepressants were safe and necessary.

A Food and Drug Administration panel on Monday discussing the use of antidepressants during pregnancy largely amounted to misinformation or facts taken out of context, according to several psychiatrists who tuned into the meeting.
