Anxiety and depressive symptoms in women and men from early pregnancy to 30 months postpartum

Abstract: This study corroborates the literature considering that the transition to parenthood can last until the child's age of 2 or 3 years. Results point out that the risk for anxiety and depression symptoms increasing over the postpartum period is greater for multiparous and lesser for primiparous women. Future studies should explore the factors that contribute to the high risk of symptoms increase over the postpartum period for multiparous women. Screening and intervention should target couples and not only women.

“…The slight decline of both moderate-severe depression and any depression prevalence from the first trimester of pregnancy through to the end of the pregnancy is consistent with findings from other studies [23]. However, this trend must be interpreted with caution given that in our study, women identified as having depression were offered treatment which may have affected prevalence estimates at subsequent assessment times.…”

“…Evidence consistently suggests that prevalence is higher in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC), with estimates ranging from 10. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].3% in LMIC compared with 7.4-19.2% in high-income countries (HIC) [1,3,4]. Untreated perinatal depression has been associated with a number of significant adverse outcomes including negative health behaviours in pregnancy [1], subsequent chronic and recurrent depression [1,2], impaired ability to work and provide care, relationship breakdown [2,5] and suicidean important contributor to maternal deaths globally [6,7].…”

“…Conversely, the association between maternal and paternal PND has been deeply investigated in parents of healthy full-term infants, but giving somewhat inconsistent findings. Indeed, while many researchers found an association between maternal and paternal PND (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33), others observed a predictive role of only maternal (34)(35)(36)(37)(38) or paternal PND on partner's symptomatology (39,40); again, other studies did not find any significant associations (41)(42)(43). One reason for the inconsistency of these results may be represented by the heterogeneity of the methodology.…”

“…We controlled for factors that, based on previous literature, were likely to be risk factors for depressive disorder [2,68,69] and be unequally distributed across occupational groups. These register-based variables [40,70] included gender, age, cohabitation (single, cohabiting), ethnicity (Danish, immigrant/descendant of immigrant), number of children in the household, employment status (employed, self-employed, unemployed, studying), years of non-employment and years of work experience.…”
