Antidepressants & Fertility

Course / Antidepressants & Fertility

Written Lesson — SSRI Medications

Before starting or stopping any antidepressant medication, it’s essential to talk to your doctor. Changing or stopping SSRIs on your own can cause serious side effects. A qualified healthcare professional can guide you safely and make sure your treatment is effective.

In this video, we take a closer look at the research and ongoing debates about how SSRIs may affect fertility.

You’ll hear from Dr. Alice Domar of Harvard Medical School, who discusses studies on SSRIs and female fertility.
Dr. Peter Schlegel, President of the ASRM and a reproductive urologist at Cornell, also shares his insights on how SSRIs can influence male fertility and sperm DNA quality.
