“…Orvaschel and colleagues (35) report increased psychological disturbance in children of depressed parents, and Downey and Coyne (16) report a sixfold increased risk of depression in offspring of depressed parents versus control children. Binge eating was the other specific maternal psychopathology to correlate with child behavioral problems, again in sample 2.…”

“…4 No.1 Jan. 1996 shown to have numerous ramifications on child development (35,40). Assessment of eating disorders was conducted because many of the mothers were themselves seeking treatment for obesity, and the prevalence of maladaptive eating such as binge eating has been reported as relatively high (30%) in treatment seeking obese adults (43).…”

EPSTEIN, LEONARD H, MICHELLE D MYERS,KATARINA ANDERSON. The association of maternal psychopathology and family socioeconomic status with psychological problems in obese children. Obes Res, 1996;4:65-74. In an earlier study we found parental psychiatric symptoms to be a better correlate of behavioral problems in obese children than either child or parental obesity. This study sought to extend this research by assessing the association of general maternal distress, specific maternal psychopathology, family socioeconomic status and child obesity with the psychological problems of 152 children seeking treatment for obesity in two cohorts. Child psychological problems were measured using the Child Behavior Checklist/4-18 (CBCL) in each cohort. In sample 1 maternal general psychiatric symptoms were measured using the Cornell Medical Index (psychiatric subscales) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems whereas specific psychopathology was assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory and the Bulimia Test. In sample 2 the Symptom Checklist-90 and Binge Eating Scale provided general and specific measures of psychopathology. In the combined sample, 58% percent of the boys and 44 % of the girls met criteria on at least one CBCL behavioral problem scale, with Social Problems the most prevalent problem in both boys and girls. For both samples, child obesity did not account for any variance in child psychosocial problems beyond that accounted for by maternal psychopathology and family SES. Family SES accounted for a significant increment in variance in child behavioral problems in only two scales. This study systematically replicates previous research, adding support for a broader conceptualization of factors that influence psychological problems in obese treatment-seeking children than one which focuses on child obesity.

“…They showed that, even with the effects of chronic stress statistically controlled, there were still differences in the psychosocial outcome variables among groups, and there was particular impairment in children of unipolar mothers (30). Other studies (31)(32)(33)(34), in which there were no demographic differences (age, marital status and socioeconomic level) between depressed and nondepressed parents, have confirmed an increased risk of psychopathology in the children of depressed parents. It seems that onset of a major depression disorder before 30 years of age in parents increases the risk of their children developing depression quite early during childhood (33,34).…”

“…Infants aged as young as 3 months have been shown to ably detect their mother's mood and to modify their own responses accordingly (10). While cognitive skills (11), expressive language development (12), and attention (13) have been negatively influenced by PPD, it has also been reported that children of mothers with depression are 2 to 5 times more likely to develop long-term behavioural problems (14,15). Child neglect and (or) abuse (16) and marital stress resulting in separation or divorce (17,18) are other reported outcomes.…”

A pproximately 13% of women from diverse cultures will experience postpartum depression (PPD) within the first 12 weeks after childbirth (1). This hidden morbidity has well-documented health consequences for the mother, child, and family. While women who have suffered from PPD are twice as likely to experience future episodes of depression over a 5-year period (2), infants and children are particularly vulnerable. PPD can cause impaired maternal-infant interactions (3) and negative perceptions of infant behaviour (4), which have been linked to attachment insecurity (5,6), Results: Twenty-nine studies that met criteria were examined. These included studies evaluating interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychological debriefing, antenatal classes, intrapartum support, supportive interactions, continuity of care, antenatal identification and notification, early postpartum follow-up, flexible postpartum care, educational strategies, and relaxation with guided imagery. Conclusions:While this review demonstrates that no specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice, many explicit research implications have been highlighted. To further address PPD as a public health problem, it is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use.( Can J Psychiatry 2004;49:526-538) Information on funding and support and author affiliations appears at the end of the article. Clinical Implications· Translating risk-factor research into predictive screening protocols and preventive interventions has met with limited success; complex interactions of biopsychosocial risk factors with individual variations need to be contemplated. · No specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice. · It is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use. Limitation· Descriptive studies were excluded.
