“…In the United States, an estimated 65% of women diagnosed with mental illness are mothers (Seeman 2002), resulting in a large population of offspring at greater risks for later development of mental disorders/problems. Maternal mental health disorders represent a significant risk for disruption of normal brain development, due to known influences of maternal genetic factors on fetal brain growth (Satyanarayana and others 2011). However, intrauterine (e.g., disrupted hormone release) and postnatal environmental factors (e.g., poorer care giving and lower socioeconomic status) related to mental illness are also likely to contribute to the consequences, either independently or through interactions with genetic factors (Rice and Thapar 2010).…”

Infancy is a critical and immensely important period in human brain development. Subtle changes during this stage may be greatly amplified with the unfolding of different developmental processes, exerting far-reaching consequences. Studies of the structure and behavioral manifestations of the infant brain are fruitful. However, the specific functional brain mechanisms that enable the execution of different behaviors remained elusive until the advent of functional connectivity fMRI (fcMRI), which provides an unprecedented opportunity to probe the infant functional brain development in vivo. Since its inception, a burgeoning field of infant brain functional connectivity study has emerged and thrived during the past decade. In this review, we describe (1) findings of normal development of functional connectivity networks and their relationships to behaviors and (2) disruptions of the normative functional connectivity development due to identifiable genetic and/or environmental risk factors during the first 2 years of human life. Technical considerations of infant fcMRI are also provided. It is our hope to consolidate previous findings so that the field can move forward with a clearer picture toward the ultimate goal of fcMRI-based objective methods for early diagnosis/identification of risks and evaluation of early interventions to optimize developing functional connectivity networks in this critical developmental window.

“…Mental health during pregnancy (e.g., stress, anxiety, pregnancy-related anxiety, and depression) can influence birth outcomes [ 1 ] including preterm birth [ 2 , 3 ] and low birth weight [ 3 ]. Limited studies examining the role of comorbid anxiety and depression in this literature indicate comorbid anxiety and depression may further increase the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Anxiety and depression commonly co-occur during pregnancy and may increase risk of poor birth outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. Our understanding of rates, patterns, and predictors of comorbid anxiety and depression is hindered given the dearth of literature, particularly in low- and middle-income (LMI) countries. The aim of this study is (1) to explore the prevalence and patterns of comorbid antenatal anxiety and depressive symptoms in the mild-to-severe and moderate-to-severe categories among women in a LMI country like Pakistan and (2) to understand the risk factors for comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms. Using a prospective cohort design, a diverse sample of 300 pregnant women from four centers of Aga Khan Hospital for Women and Children in Pakistan were enrolled in the study. Comorbid anxiety and depression during pregnancy were high and numerous factors predicted increased likelihood of comorbidity, including: (1) High level of perceived stress at any time point, (2) having 3 or more previous children, and (3) having one or more adverse childhood experiences. These risks were increased if the husband was employed in the private sector. Early identification and treatment of mental health comorbidities may contribute to decreased adverse birth outcomes in LMI countries.

“…Meta-analyses of perinatal depression report point prevalence estimates between 6–13% (Gavin et al, 2005) and studies have shown that 16% present with clinically anxious symptoms during the first trimester (Rubertsson et al, 2014); in addition, 84% of women report some form of psychosocial stress during pregnancy (Woods et al, 2010). Depression, anxiety, and stress during pregnancy have been associated with inadequate antenatal care, low birth weight, preterm delivery, small gestational age, placental abruption, self-harm, suicidal-ideation, postpartum depression, and maladaptive emotional and behavioral development of offspring (de Paz et al, 2011; Farias et al, 2013; Graignic-Philippe et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2007; Sanchez et al, 2013; Satyanarayana et al, 2011; Szegda et al, 2014; Wisner et al, 2013). …”

Background The co-occurrence of migraine and unipolar psychiatric disorders has been well documented in non-pregnant populations, however little is known in pregnant populations. Methods A cohort of 1,321 women was interviewed during the first trimester of pregnancy. At the time of interview lifetime migraine status was ascertained using International Classification of Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria (ICHD-II). Information regarding unipolar depression, anxiety and stress during pregnancy was collected using the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Module-9 (PHQ-9), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21-item Short Form (DASS-21). Multivariable logistic regression procedures were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of migraine and mood disorders during pregnancy. Results Approximately 28.2% (N=372) were classified as having a lifetime history of migraine; among migraineurs 122 were classified as migraineurs with aura and 250 as migraineurs without aura. Compared with non-migraineurs, migraineurs were associated with 1.60-fold increased odds of depression as measured by a PHQ-9 score ≥10 (AOR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.12–2.31). Overall, migraine with aura was more strongly associated with depression than was migraine without aura. Migraineurs, as compared with non-migraineurs, also had higher odds of mood disorders as measured by the DASS-21. Conclusions The comorbidity of mood and migraine disorders in pregnant populations supports the need for integrated mental and physical clinical evaluation, increased vigilance, and treatment of patients with such disorders.
