“…It is found that PPD has a negative consequence on spouse's mental health, causing postpartum anxiety and PPD in the new father (O'Brien et al, ) and reduces the marital satisfaction of mothers (Di Marco, Gambaro, Zeppegno, & Gramaglia, ). Moreover, antenatal depression is found to be associated with preterm birth (Pesonen et al, ), delayed foetal development (Grobman et al, ), reduced foetal activity (Dieter et al, ), poor maternal–foetal communication, impaired mother–infant bonding (Badr, Ayvazian, Lameh, & Charafeddine, ), abnormal child weight, which manifests as low birth weight within one year of birth (Farías‐Antúnez, Xavier, & Santos, ), and obesity in children or adults (Lampard, Franckle, & Davison, ). Many studies have found that antenatal depression also affects the mental health and cognitive function of other children in the family (Tarabulsy et al, ), increasing the risk of anxiety (Capron et al, ), and other psychiatric problems in their children (Lahti et al, ).…”

Aims and objectives To investigate the prevalence of depression in the third trimester of pregnancy and identify the related demographic risk factors. Background Antenatal depression as a disabling and treatable disease has a wide‐ranging impact on perinatal women and has received extensive attention from researchers. Design A cross‐sectional survey was conducted at three public hospitals. Methods Demographic questionnaire was developed from the literature review, and depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess the association between depression and demographic predictors. STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies was applied in this paper (see Appendix S1). Result A total of 773 pregnant women participated in the study. 29.6% of participants scored more than 9 points on Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. In the final logistic model, living in rural area, marital satisfaction, assisted reproductive technology, lacking of prenatal health knowledge and life events were strongly significantly associated with antenatal depression. Moreover, living in an extended family, without Medicare insurance, unemployed, working as civil servants or healthcare workers, and lower household income also predicted antenatal depression. However, education level, smoking or drinking before pregnancy was found not to be associated with antenatal depression. Conclusion Our findings suggest that the prevalence of antenatal depression was high. Satisfied with the current marital status, pregnancy without assisted reproductive technology, knowledge of perinatal care and no life events recently were considered as the protective factors for antenatal depression. Relevance to clinical practice Antenatal psychological interventions should focus on how to improve the marital satisfaction and the relationship with their family members. More attentions should be paid to the women who have had some life events recently or received assisted reproductive technology for pregnancy.

“…Researchers have also examined if the children of mothers with PPD have different developmental outcomes compared to those of mothers without PPD – including physical development (e.g. underweight and overweight) and cognitive and behavioral changes – by school age or by adolescence . However, to our knowledge, there is no consensus concerning whether maternal PPD affects children's developmental outcomes in general.…”

Aim: The etiology of maternal postpartum depression (PPD) remains inconclusive, and there is no consensus concerning whether maternal PPD affects children's developmental outcomes. Consequently, in this literature review, we examined whether maternal PPD affects children's physical, neuromotor, language and general cognitive development. Methods: We conducted an electronic search using PubMed to select case-control and cohort studies that addressed maternal depression, depressive episodes or depressive symptoms among postpartum (within 6 months) women. We omitted studies that focused on a specific population (e.g. preterm infants). Results: The methodological problems of prior studies indicate that their findings must be interpreted with caution. Insufficient and or inconsistent evidence has supported associations between maternal PPD and children's developmental trajectories. Nevertheless, some key studies have revealed findings that require further analysis, including the associations between maternal PPD and children's stunted growth/being underweight in developed countries, the slight delay in children's fine motor development, and in children's language development. Conclusion:Although several studies have investigated the longstanding effects of maternal PPD on children's physical and neurodevelopment, no conclusive evidence has elucidated a relationship between maternal PPD and all four domains of child developmentphysical, neuromotor, language and general cognitive ability. Therefore, large-scale, longitudinal studies with a long-term follow-up periodextending to school age and beyondare needed. Moreover, confounding factors should be carefully considered. Specifically, household income, parental education, breastfeeding, bonding/attachment and paternal mental health may be associated with maternal mental health and children's neurodevelopment.

Further, PDS has a negative impact on family relationships including marital and maternal‐infant interactions, with resultant poorer physiologic and psychological health of the offspring . Consequently, PDS has been extensively investigated with a view to both treatment and prevention.…”

[4][5][6] Consequently, PDS has been extensively investigated with a view to both treatment and prevention. A number of studies show PDS to be commonly linked to stress in the perinatal period, lower income/socioeconomic status, lack of social support, and genetic risk factors as well as other psychological and social susceptibility factors.…”

Objectives Few studies have investigated the prophylactic efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in postpartum depressive symptoms (PDS). A randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether the administration of DEX, immediately after delivery and for patient‐controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), can attenuate PDS. Methods A total of 600 parturients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated into the control group (infusion with 0.9% normal saline after delivery and PCIA with sufentanil) and the DEX group (DEX infusion 0.5 μg/kg after delivery and PCIA with DEX plus sufentanil). The prevalence of postpartum depressive disorders was indicated by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Postoperative analgesia, sedation, and sleep quality of parturients were also assessed. Results Postpartum blues and PDS prevalence in the DEX, versus control, group were significantly lower (5.0% vs 14.1%, p<0.001; 5.7% vs 16.3%, p<0.001, respectively), especially in parturients with antenatal depression or moderate stress during pregnancy. Compared with the control group, the EPDS score at postpartum days 7 and 42 in the DEX group was significantly lower (4.23 ± 4.37 vs 1.93 ± 3.36, p<0.001; 4.68 ± 4.78 vs 1.99 ± 3.18, p<0.001, respectively), as was the incidence of postpartum self‐harm ideation at postpartum days 7 and 42 in the DEX group versus the control group (1.1% vs 4.0%, p=0.03; 0.4% vs 2.9%, p=0.04, respectively). The pain score and the sleep quality in the DEX group were better than that in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion The application of DEX in the early postpartum period can significantly attenuate the incidence of postpartum depressive disorders.
