“…101 Using a community based cross-sectional survey conducted at 3-24 months, Hadley et al in Ethiopia found that children with mothers who had higher symptoms of depression and anxiety (assessed using Hopkins Symptoms checklist) were statistically significantly more likely to score low in all measures of development even after adjusting for nutritional stunting. 102 Maternal postpartum depression was noted to be associated with 6-fold increased odds of being delayed for emotional development (OR=5.9; 95% CI: 3.0-11.9), language development (OR=5.4; 95% CI: 2.3-12.4) and delayed gross motor development (OR=2.8; 95% CI: 1.2-6.6) in Pakistan. 103 We are aware of one recent study which failed to document an association between maternal prenatal psychological distress and infant temperament.…”

Maternal depression, a non-psychotic depressive episode of mild to major severity, is one of the major contributors of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. Maternal depression (antepartum or post partum) has been linked to negative health-related behaviours and adverse outcomes, including psychological and developmental disturbances in infants, children, and adolescents. Despite its enormous burden, maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries remains under-recognised and undertreated. In this Series paper, we systematically review studies that focus on the epidemiology of perinatal depression (ie, during antepartum and post-partum periods) among women residing in low-income and middle-income countries. We also summarise evidence for the association of perinatal depression with infant and childhood outcomes. This review is intended to summarise fi ndings from the existing literature, identify important knowledge gaps, and set the research agenda for creating new generalisable knowledge pertinent to increasing our understanding of the prevalence, determinants, and infant and childhood health outcomes associated with perinatal depression. This review is also intended to set the stage for subsequent work aimed at reinforcing and accelerating investments toward providing services to manage maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries.

“…The Gilgel Gibe Growth and Development Study (GGGDS) is a longitudinal cohort study of families in the Gilgel Gibe region that is concerned with adult mental health and child development. It has been described elsewhere 24. The baseline sample for the GGGDS consisted of households that had a child between the ages of 3 and 24 months from the population of all births in Gilgel Gibe in the 2 years before the estimated start date of the survey, December 2006.…”

Women in rural southwest Ethiopia who have limited personal experience with facility delivery nonetheless value health facility attributes that indicate high technical quality: availability of drugs and equipment and physician providers. Well-designed policy experiments that measure the contribution of quality improvements to facility delivery rates in Ethiopia and other countries with low health service utilisation and high maternal mortality may inform national efforts to reduce maternal mortality.

“…[87] found that maternal mental health problems were associated with both global and specific developmental problems. Studies from New Zealand[8889] reported that the prevalence rates of internalizing problems were significantly higher in children of mothers who had self-reported symptoms of psychological disorder.…”

Maternal mental health research is a public health priority due to its impact on both maternal and child health. Despite the growing number of empirical studies in this area, particularly from developing countries, there is a paucity of synthetic review articles. Therefore, attempting to synthesize the existing literature in this area seems relevant to appraise the readers of the field's progress and to infer directions for future research. The present review aims to provide an overview of the literature on maternal mental health and its association with birth outcomes and child behavior. Specifically, the literature on mental health during pregnancy and in the postpartum period and its influence on birth outcomes and child behavior have been reviewed. Further, a conceptual and methodological evaluation of the existing literature has been provided to identify gaps in the literature and to suggest directions for future research.
