“…However, prenatal maternal depression (PND) (O'Donnell, Glover, Barker, & O'Connor, 2014;Van Batenburg-Eddes et al, 2013) and maternal post-partum depression (PPD) (Carter, Garrity-Rokous, Chazan-Cohen, Little, & Briggs-Gowan, 2001;Kim-Cohen, Moffitt, Taylor, Pawlby, & Caspi, 2005;Sciberras, Ukoumunne, & Efron, 2011) have also been found related to ADHD and behaviour problems in preschool children. Impaired maternal sensitivity, insecure infant attachment, and less optimal mother-child interactions have been found associated with post-partum depressions (PPD), which may negatively impact on children's further cognitive and behavioural development (Stein et al, 2012a;Carter et al, 2001;Shaw & Vondra, 1995). The increased risk for child symptom development has also been shown equally related to pre-and postnatal exposure to maternal symptoms of anxiety or depression (Giallo, Woolhouse, Gartland, Hiscock, & Brown, 2015;O'Donnell et al, 2014;Carter et al, 2001).…”
