“…The cases represented only 2% of the forensic psychiatric evaluations, underlining the difficulty of finding a sample with a primary diagnosis of personality disorder. This low percentage is partly because we excluded any Axis I comorbidity in the selection of cases, as they are themselves associated with perinatal complications (Preti et al, 2000; but is consistent with other samples of patients in secure hospitals (Thomson et al, 1997). Finally, the personal identification number system in Sweden allowed merging across two databases with no loss of information on cases or controls, avoiding problems in countries such as the US and UK with aliases in offender populations (Harry 1986;Martin et al, 2005).…”

“…Perinatal factors have been shown to increase the risk of the development of several psychiatric disorders with onset in childhood or early adulthood including schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (Verdoux et al, 1997;Hultman et al, 1999;Buka et al, 2008), autism (Hultman et al, 2002;Gardener et al, 2009) hyperactivity symptoms (Hultman et al, 2007), depression (Preti et al, 2000), and anorexia nervosa (Cnattingius et al, 1999). However, little is known about the potential role of perinatal risk factors in the development of personality disorders.…”

Although perinatal factors are associated with the development of several psychiatric disorders, it is unknown whether these factors are linked with personality disorder. Cases of personality disorder were drawn from a national registry of all forensic psychiatric evaluations (n=150). Two control groups were used: 1. A sample of forensic evaluations without any psychiatric disorder (n=97) allowing for a nested case-control investigation; 2: A population-based sample matched by age and gender with no history of psychiatric hospitalization (n=1498). Prematurity (<37 weeks of completed gestation) was significantly associated with a diagnosis of personality disorder, both in the nested and the population-based case-control comparisons with adjusted odds ratios (OR) for this risk factors ranging from 2 to 4. Asphyxia (adjusted OR=2.4, 95% CI: 1.4-4.1) and complicated delivery (adjusted OR=1.5, 1.0-2.1) were associated with personality disorder in the population-based study, and the former remained significant in multivariate models. Overall, perinatal complications were found to be associated with a later diagnosis of personality disorder in this selected sample. As with other psychiatric disorders where such associations have been demonstrated, changes during the perinatal period may lead to abnormal brain development and function.

“…Other researchers describe an association with antenatal depression and obstetrical complications such as gestational diabetes [7][8][9]. Depression and anxiety are also reported to be associated with hypertension, preeclampsia [10], bleeding and placental abruption [11], as well as preterm labour and birth [10,[12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background: Depression occurs in approximately 20% of pregnant women, with up to 25% experiencing anxiety. Various pregnancy and labour complications have been associated with maternal mood problems.Methods: This population study of antenatal and early postpartum depression and maternal, child outcomes involved 649 women assessed three times: the second trimester, the third trimester, and in the early postpartum. Our objective was to determine the occurrence and outcomes on pregnancy and labour of major and mild depression.Results: Major depression in the second trimester was significantly associated with developing gestational diabetes and swelling/edema. Major depression that occurred continuously throughout pregnancy was significantly associated with induced labour and antenatal bleeding/abruption. Mild depression in the second trimester was significantly associated with antenatal bleeding/abruption and premature rupture of the membranes. Mild depression in the third trimester was associated with caesarean birth. Mild depression that occurred continuously throughout pregnancy was significantly associated with the use of vacuum/forceps or operative delivery. Conclusions:Our findings show that either episodic depression or mild depression can have significant negative impact on pregnancy and labour complications.
