“…Postnatal depression (PND) is a major health problem that affects approximately 8% to 19% of women globally (Chaudron, 2003). It has been well demonstrated in literature that PND could lead to various serious negative health consequences on the family as a whole and that it may not only hamper mothers' physical and mental health (World Health Organization, 2008) but also affect the health of other family members including their partners and children (Leung et al, 2011;McPeak, Sandrock, Spector, & Pattishall, 2015).…”

This study set out to fill the research gap by including various aspects of father involvement and intimate partner violence (IPV) in the examination of the association between unintended pregnancy and maternal postnatal depression (PND). This study aimed to examine the effect of father involvement and IPV on the association between unintended pregnancy and PND. A sample of 1,083 pregnant women who attended antenatal clinic at selected hospitals in Hong Kong completed two surveys to report on their pregnancy intention, antenatal depression, PND, IPV during pregnancy, their partner’s (i.e., father’s) involvement during pregnancy and after childbirth, and perceived social support. Comparisons were made between women with unintended pregnancy and those with intended pregnancy, and the effects of unintended pregnancy, father involvement, IPV, and other factors on maternal PND were examined. Results show that women with unintended pregnancy were more likely to report PND, IPV, fear, postnatal stress, lower degree of father involvement, and lower level of social support. Unintended pregnancy independently increased the risk of PND by 1.95 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.15, 3.28]), after adjustment for all other variables. When father involvement was included in the regression model, the negative effects of IPV and the related fear on PND became nonsignificant. The positive association between unintended pregnancy and PND was robust. Father involvement might help promote maternal health by reducing the negative effects of IPV on PND.

“…The prevailing practice of providing written educational materials on depression and treatment at hospital discharge or in clinic/private practice waiting rooms, as well as the less common procedure of screening for depression and referring positive screens for evaluation and treatment, are simply not resulting in sufficient rates of depression evaluation and treatment in adolescent mothers. National experts recommend that new and innovative strategies are needed to address this important national health issue of depression in adolescent mothers (Gaynes et al, 2005; McPeak, Sandrock, Spector, & Pattishall, 2015; Williams et al, 2009). Phipps and colleagues reported the results of one randomized clinical trial of an intervention provided to pregnant adolescents during pregnancy to prevent postpartum depression (Phipps, Raker, Ware, & Zlotnick, 2013).…”

“…The effects go well beyond interfering with early maternal-infant bonding and interactions and have been shown to be associated with poor school readiness and self-regulation (Brennan, Andersen, Hammen, & Bor, 2000; Campbell, Matestic, von Stauffenberg, Mohan, & Kirchner, 2007). The effects of depression on early maternal-infant interactions are further complicated in adolescent mothers due to deficits in executive functioning associated with a prefrontal cortex that is still developing (Chico, Gonzalez, Ali, Steiner, & Fleming, 2014; McPeak et al, 2015). These data suggest that it is critical that all mothers, but especially adolescent mothers, receive early screening and treatment for depressive symptoms.…”

Approximately 400,000 adolescents give birth in the USA annually. Although one-half experience depressive symptoms, less than 25% comply with referrals for depression evaluation and treatment. The current study tested the effectiveness of an Internet-based depression intervention on seeking depression treatment. Based upon the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the intervention included vignettes, questions and answers, and resources. Before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 2 weeks later the adolescent mothers (n = 151) answered questions related to TPB variables and depression treatment. Data were compared to adolescent mothers (n = 138) in the control group. Data were collected in community organizations or home visits for the control group. Adolescent mothers in the intervention group answered questions and completed the intervention from a computer of their choice. The adolescents were primarily African American (89.2%), less than high school educated (51.7%), had given birth in last year (97.1%), with a mean age 18.2 years. The intervention led to significant changes in attitude, perceived control, intention to seek mental health treatment, and actually seeking depression treatment. Untreated postpartum depression dramatically impacts a mother's relationship with her child, her functioning at work and school, health care-seeking behaviors, mothering skills, and her development as well as the development of her child. An Internet-based depression intervention is an inexpensive method to increase rates of depression treatment.

“…Thus psychological illness becomes a self-perpetuating phenomenon, passed from one generation to the next. These mothers were also found to be more likely to withdraw from parenting, demonstrate more frequent hostile behaviors, and administer physical punishments to their offspring, further impairing the bond between mothers and their babies [16]. Furthermore, children of mothers who have postpartum depression show intellectual problems and require special education methods.…”

Across all cultures parenting is the foundation of early life. Recent research has further shown that the relationship between a mother and her offspring in early infancy forms a basic foundation for the future development of the child and can predict whether the child will experience mental distress in later years. This brief review summarized the risk factors including physical health, mental health, and age of the mother that could instill the long term impact to the child's mental health later in life.
