MAKE A DECISION: Which approach would you recommend to Catarina during her pregnancy? Catarina should maintain a healthy diet and appropriate exercise regimen, and she should avoid unnecessary exposure to environmental contaminants. She should also keep taking her current antidepressants. Catarina should definitely address the issues of a healthy diet and environment as well as exercise, but her physician should also explore whether Catarina would require to change to another dose or type of antidepressant.
