NEW Study: Fetuses with prenatal SSRI exposure have brain & placental alterations seen on in utero MRI (PMID: 42106476).
No one will EVER make sense of this until they realize that
1) THE role of serotonin is to adjust ALL mitochondria to situations of absolute or relative hypoxia both inside the body and throughout every tissue of the body.
2) SSRIs block half of this because it requires both extracellular and mitochondrial serotonin receptors and serotonin entry into the mitochondria and SSRIs prevent serotonin from entering the cell and then into the mitochondria.
3) The placenta has the HIGHEST expression of the serotonin transporter.
4) In pregnant women THE GREATEST effect of SSRIs is to deprive the fetus of placentral serotonin transport.
5) This is because until the baby is born it is in a CONSTANT STATE OF HYPOXIA not because of absolute deprivation of oxygen but because its source of oxygen is not its lungs and therefore its oxygen delivery has to be completely rewired until this is suddenly reversed the second it is born.
and
6) SSRIs are therefore drugs that induce mitochondrial dysfunction in babies.
