Is It Safe To Take Anti Depressants During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 29 yrs old n i have a 13 month old son.I am in Saudi arabia. i suffered postpartal depression after his delivery, which was a c-section. n i started taking anti depressants only 2 months back when i came to India n as per my psychiatrist i have to take them for 8 months. he called it a neurotic depression with psychotic symptoms. Also i took antibiotics like ciprofloxin n metronidazole ten days before when i had to undergo a tooth extraction. My depression is still on, i get unexplained rage n an urge to hurt myself. i dont know whether i can continue with this pregnancy. will the medications i took harm the baby? would i be able to manage another child i am finding it too difficult to manage myself? I am confused. Would my abdominal muscles be strong enough as they still lack tone?( I am a physiotherapist). Kindly Help me. Is it safe to continue this pregnancy for me , for the foetus n the kid?
