Suicide and Maternal Mortality

“…Furthermore, a recent major depressive episode (within the past 12 months) is associated with 4.9 times higher odds of exhibiting suicidal behavior compared to women who did not experience a recent major depressive episode [ 26 ]. Among women with hearing loss, postpartum depression increased the risk of suicidal thoughts as measured by the suicidal ideation attributes scale, but the presence of social support decreased the risk [ 78 ]. Depressive symptom severity in perinatal women is positively correlated with suicide score; however, while a decrease in depression severity (as measured by HDRS) was associated with decrease in suicide score, an increase in HDRS score was not correlated with an increase in suicide score [ 79 ].…”

“…Suicidality prevalence increased from 0.2% per 100 individuals to 0.6% per 100 individuals from 2006 to 2017. Non-Hispanic Black individuals, individuals with lower income, and younger individuals experienced larger increases in suicidality over the study period Ahn et al [ 130 ] Initiatives to Reduce Maternal Mortality and Severe Maternal Morbidity in the United States: A Narrative Review Narrative review Multiple, perinatal Varies Varies Severe maternal morbidity and maternal mortality Description of the epidemiology of maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity in the USA and selected initiatives to reduce maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity in the areas of data and surveillance; clinical workforce training and patient education; telehealth; comprehensive models and strategies; and clinical guidelines, protocols, and bundles Akram et al [ 78 ] Postpartum depression and suicidal ideation in new mothers with hearing loss: Perceived social support as a moderator, a multicenter study Cross-sectional Postpartum women with/without hearing loss from maternity clinics 2–6 weeks after delivery in Pakistan 547 EPDS SI Mothers with hearing loss were 1.97 × more likely to exhibit PPD and 1.08 × more likely to be at risk of suicidal ideation compared to those without hearing loss Alluvula et al [ 100 ] One-Year Follow-Up of Women with Severe Acute Maternal Morbidity (SAMM): A Cohort Study Prospective cohort study Women with SAMM vs uneventful pregnancy, 1-year follow-up 86 EPDS SI Suicidal ideation was more prevalent in women with SAMM (18.42%, p = 0.001).

Attachment Style and Mental Health Profiles of Parents Caring for a Child with Autism: Suicidal Ideation, Depression and Anxiety

“…The presence of a buffer in the form of support has been shown to enhance parents' functioning and overall well-being, and while there is a small number of studies that evaluated the differences in mental health issues between males and females, much of the literature suggests that parents' coping style differs between genders, which in turn impacts the presence of mental health issues among the parents (Cohrs & Leslie, 2017;Dabrowska & Pisula, 2010;Teague et al, 2018). There is evidence to support the presence of suicide among the parents of children with ASD due to the burden of caring for such children (Akram et al, 2019). There are a few studies available, however, on the presence of suicidal ideation among parents caring for a child with ASD in general, and none available within the U.S.…”
