Does a child or grandchild in your family suffer from a birth defect or congenital condition?

Did the mother of this child take any of these prescription medications for depression, anxiety, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)?

• Prozac
• Zoloft

• Celexa
• Sarafem
• Pexeva
• Symbyax
• any “SSRI”

BSYC is a leading law firm that helps families when a child has suffered a mild or severe birth defect or congenital condition. Studies have shown that birth defects may be caused by popular medications (SSRI’s) that are commonly prescribed to expectant mothers during pregnancy for depression or anxiety.

The care, resources and future of your child is our most important consideration. High costs for treatment, care and therapy are real. Your child is not too old or young. Nor is her condition too mild or severe.
