Newborn mice given Prozac grow up depressed

 

.... I just spoke with a clinician tonight who told me that when they

run one of the tests they generally give in their clinic these drugs

always show up as LSD. Of course that should surprise no one who has

read my book either.

 

.... " The team found that rodents who received drug as newborns were

more intimidated by new surroundings and moved more slowly to avoid

painful shocks compared to controls. " They are more inhibited in

novel situations, " says Gingrich. " Extrapolating to people, we'd say

the mice are showing symptoms of anxiety and depression or emotional

problems. "

 

" But more recent research has suggested these medications may cause

subtle neurological changes in the developing fetus.
