As a doula, midwife, or birth professional, you play a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of both birthing parents and newborns. When clients are taking psychotropic medications such as SSRIs, understanding the potential effects on pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery is essential. This course provides evidence-based guidance on recognizing the signs of serotonin syndrome in infants, understanding the risks associated with SSRI exposure, and effectively communicating with healthcare providers to advocate for the best possible care. By equipping yourself with this knowledge, you can confidently support your clients in making informed decisions that prioritize both their mental health and their baby’s safety.
