“…Rate of change in hormonal levels rather than absolute values may in fact be the key determinant as well as other factors linked to hormonal variability such as breastfeeding. It is interesting to note that while breastfeeding has been linked to the onset of major depression [40], bottle-feeding has been associated with depressive symptoms and major depression [17,[46][47][48].…”

implications: that women vary in vulnerability to mood disorder when abrupt change in steroid levels occur, that these effects could be cumulative across the female lifespan, and that women do not arrive at menopause with equal risk of mood disorders, or equal susceptibility to the effects of hormonal replacement therapy as has been assumed by current clinical research and practice. Conclusion:While hormonal therapies could have positive effects in the treatment and prevention of depressive disorders, further research is required to differentiate hormone-responsive subgroups of women for whom specific hormonal treatments may be most beneficial. To this end we suggest that a multifactorial model of cumulative vulnerability, which takes into account hormonal exposure throughout life, genetic vulnerability and environmental factors, may provide better prediction of treatment response.

“…Maternal depression was significantly associated with paternal depression at all time points, which agrees with a recent meta-analysis. 8 Depressive and hypomanic symptoms in fathers in the postnatal period were studied by Lane et al 7 In their sample, 1.2% of fathers concurrently scored 13 or more in the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and 8 or more in the Highs Scale, which resembles the prevalence of mixed states at the postpartum time point in our study. However, comparisons should be made with caution because of the small number of cases of depression, the different time points assessed (between 3 days and 6 weeks postpartum), and the diverse diagnostic instruments used in their work.…”

“…Nevertheless, bipolar spectrum disorders (e.g., mania, hypomania, and mixed states) are often neglected in the current research on paternal perinatal psychopathology. 7 The aim of our study was to describe the prevalence of paternal mood disorders including depressive, hypomanic, manic, and mixed episodes, across the following time points: between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, between 30 and 60 days postpartum, and in the twelfth month after childbirth. In addition, we sought to determine the extent to which depressive symptoms are associated with manic or hypomanic features in mixed episodes at these three time points.…”

Objective: We describe the prevalence of depressive and bipolar spectrum episodes in fathers in antenatal and postnatal periods, as well as at 12 months after childbirth. Method: A longitudinal follow-up study was conducted with a representative sample of 739 fathers whose children were born between April 2007 and May 2008 in maternity wards in the city of Pelotas, southern Brazil. Paternal psychopathology was measured with the Mini Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) across three time points: between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy (T1), 30 to 60 days postpartum (T2), and 12 months after childbirth (T3). Results: The prevalence of depressive episodes was 5.0% at T1, 4.5% at T2, and 4.3% at T3. Mixed episodes were present in 3%, 1.7%, and 0.9% of subjects, respectively, and accounted for 61.1% of the cases of depression in the antenatal period, 37.5% in postpartum, and 21.4% at 12 months. Depressive and manic/ hypomanic episodes were significantly associated during pregnancy and in postpartum, but not at 12 months after childbirth. Conclusion: Bipolar episodes were common in men with depressive symptoms during their partner's pregnancy in the postpartum period and, to a lesser extent, 12 months after childbirth. Therefore, this population should be carefully investigated for manic and hypomanic symptoms. Descriptors

ÖZETGünümüzde anne sütü ve emzirmenin önemi kadar önemli olan bir başka konu da doğum sonrası annenin ruh sağlığıdır. Annenin bebeğine sağlıklı bir şekilde bakabilmesi ve uzun dönem emzirebilmesi için öncelikle kendi beden ve ruh sağlığının yerinde olması gerekir. Anne ruh sağlığının kötü olması, bebeğin iyi beslenememesi ve fiziksel sağlığında bozulmalarla sonuçlanmakta-dır. Depresif annelerin emzirme konusunda daha fazla kaygılandıkları, sütleri-nin besleyiciliği ve yeterliliği konusunda olumsuz düşüncelere sahip oldukları söylenebilir. Emzirme ile ilgili yeterli eğitim ve desteğin yanı sıra bebek besleme konusundaki olumsuz sonuçları azaltmak için depresyondaki anneyi tanı-mak ve tedavi etmek oldukça önemlidir. Emzirme eğitimi verilirken gerçekçi hedeflerin saptanması, olgu bazında yaklaşım ve olabilecek komplikasyonları tanımaya yönelik eğitimlerin anneye ve çevresindekilere verilmesi gerekir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Emzirme, anne sütü, postpartum depresyon ABSTRACT Maternal mental health in postpartum period is an important issue as breast milk and breastfeeding. The mother's physical and mental health is critical for long term breastfeeding and to give efficient care to baby. Maternal mental impairment results in insufficient feeding and disturbances in physical health of the baby. Women with depressive symptoms have been shown to fail to begin and continue breastfeeding. It is critical to diagnose and treat maternal depression to decrease negative outcomes of feeding in addition to education and support for efficient breastfeeding. During education for breastfeeding, determining accurate targets, case-concerned approaches and giving education for mothers and their relatives for diagnosis of probable complications is crucial for both mother and her baby.
