“…The findings of this study may make it easier to target services. Given that postpartum depression is a risk factor for problems such as impaired mother-infant bonding (Faisal-Cury, Bertazzi Levy, Kontos, Tabb, & Matijasevich, 2019), targeted interventions for postpartum depression have value for infants as well as mothers (Birkeland et al, 2005).…”

Introduction: Pregnant adolescents have worse mental health outcomes than any other age group. Recently researchers have sought to examine the prevalence of depression among adolescents during the postpartum period, but few examine risk factors during pregnancy. This study aims to identify the prevalence and associated risk factors for depression during pregnancy among adolescents. Methods: We used cross-sectional data of 89 pregnant low-income adolescents age 16-19. All participants completed an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale screen as a part of standard care in a WIC program. We performed descriptive and multivariable regression statistical analyses using STATA MP 12.1. Results: The prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms (depression) was 17% among our sample. Depression was associated with having less than 12 years of education and the number of previous live births (parity). After adjusting for education, pregnant adolescents who had a previous live birth were four times as likely to have depression compared to adolescents who never had a previous birth (odds ratio = 4.07; 95% confidence interval 1.13-14.71). Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that low-income adolescents the most significant risk factor for experiencing depression is giving birth in the past and before the current pregnancy. This finding is essential for social workers who provide services to adolescent mothers.

“…Evidence suggest that targeting bonding impairment among depressed mothers during infancy can have longstanding benefits for mothers and offspring during the toddlerhood (Faisal-Cury et al, 2019). Accordingly, there is a need to examine services for bonding among adolescent mothers with depression and their infants.…”

“…Changes in hormones during pregnancy and postpartum as mentioned in Table 2 can manifest the postpartum depression because the dramatic changes in the level of hormones lead to the development of anxiety, fear, sadness during puerperium [24]. Several endocrinal changes can lead to neuropsychoendocrinology which can follow a systematic pattern because of a continuous increase in the hormonal plasma concentration throughout the 40 weeks of pregnancy, followed by a dramatic drop in the levels at parturition.…”

Background: In today's global world, most women are experiencing midlife health problems which can affect their lives and mental status. Most of the diseases occurr after childbirth and during pregnancy or gestation period which can lead to severe problems such as postpartum depression (PPD), postmenopausal depression, perimenopausal depression which ultimately affects the mental health condition and develop various depressive episodes which ultimately lead to depression in women. Objective: The review paper gives the information that if there is untreated maternal depression then it can lead to anxiety, fear, negative effect on child development, disruption of the mother-infant relationship, and the occurrence of depressive symptoms in the early life of infants. Hormone levels are changed at the time of pregnancy. Methods: The data was collected by studying combination of research and review papers from different databases like PubMed, Medline, and Web of science by using search keywords like “Postpartum depression”, “Postmenopausal depression”, “Risk factors”, “Pathogenesis of PPD”, “Predictors of postpartum depression”. Results: This can lead to disrupting the quality of life of menopausal women like deficiency of nutrients, not properly regular physical activities, elevated Body Mass Index (BMI), loss of libido (loss of interest in sexual activities), due to the lack of education, and awareness among the people. Factors like increase in physical activity can naturally help in PPD condition. Mind body therapy, drug therapy and cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies help in hormonal imbalances. Conclusion: It was found that low birth weight and congenital abnormalities in babies lead to affect depression after delivery. It is recommended that health care providers and physicians are provided with information regarding factors contributing PPD and postmenopausal depression. Sleep timings and consumptions of nutraceuticals can help in natural healing with depression amongst women suffering from postpartum, postmenopausal and perimenopausal depression.

“…Mothers who report more shame in their mothering also report higher psychological distress [12,19,20]. Even though more psychological distress is related to greater difficulties in bonding with baby [21][22][23][24], the relationship between mother's shame and self-reported emotional availability with baby is not yet known. Shame -defined as perception and evaluation of the self as bad, unworthy, or inferior -is strongly related to psychological symptoms in adults, as well as less openness and willingness to seek help [25][26][27][28].…”

Positive perceptions of pregnancy are associated with better postpartum outcomes, including stronger relationship with baby. Although better self-reported emotional availability (EA-SR) is associated with greater attachment security with infants, research has not yet explored the relationship between prenatal maternal factors and EA-SR. The aim of the study was to explore the associations between prenatal variables (adult attachment, shame, compassion) and EA-SR at 3- and 6-months postpartum. A cross-sectional survey design based on a convenience sample of pregnant Australian women completed the survey at three time points: pregnancy (3rd trimester, n = 133), and again at 3- (n = 65) and 6-months (n = 40) postpartum. Five, 5-step, hierarchical multiple regressions revealed the model (mean maternal age/prenatal attachment/shame/compassion/psychological adjustment) significantly explained 62% in self-reported maternal hostility, 53% in self-reported child involvement, and 52% in self-reported mutual attunement, at 6-months postpartum. Higher levels of prenatal internal shame were related to less self-reported child involvement (p = 0.04), and more self-reported maternal hostility (p = 0.03), at 3-months postpartum. More prenatal giving compassion was associated with better self-reported affect quality at 3- (p = 0.01) and 6-months postpartum (p = 0.01), and less self-reported hostility (p = 0.02) at 6-months postpartum. Greater understanding of the relationship between prenatal factors and EA-SR may help enhance prenatal care pathways to support women and families at risk of adverse postpartum outcomes.
