The objective of this paper is to examine the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depressive symptoms. Papers included in this review were identified through electronic searches of the following databases: Pubmed Medline and Ovid, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Each database was searched from its start date through 1 September 2011. Keywords such as "postpartum," "perinatal," "prenatal," "depression," "violence," "child abuse," and "partner abuse" were included in the purview of MeSH terms. Studies that examined the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depression were included. A total of 545 studies were included in the initial screening. Forty-three articles met criteria for inclusion and were incorporated in this review. Quality of articles was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale (NOS). This systematic review indicates a positive association between maternal lifetime abuse and depressive symptoms in the perinatal period.

“…Depression is described in literature as both common and morbid. 12 These disorders are defined according to DSM-IV criteria. While it is estimated at 12% in the general population, increased prevalence has been described in the perinatal period, in low-income women, and during maternalpartner discord.…”

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of perinatal anxiety and depression in women with hypertensive diseases during pregnancy in Yaounde.Methods: Authors carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study over nine months from October 2015 to May 2016, amongst pregnant women with hypertensive pregnancy disorders followed up in three tertiary care centers in Yaounde. Authors collected information from the medical files of selected patients by using a pre-tested and validated questionnaire in the perinatal period. We classified blood pressure values as per the JNC 7 recommendations. Anxiety and mental depression were evaluated for using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item and the Patient Health Questionnaires-9 respectively. Data analysis was done using CSPro version 6.2 and SPSS version 20.0 software.Results: Authors included 202 patients during the study period. The mean age stood at 25.9± 6.4years (extremes 13-43years). Amongst these, 47.5% were single while 97.5% (197/202) had received at least primary education. Students represented 45.5% (92/202) of women while 102 (50.5%) of them had some form of employment in the public, private or informal sectors. Severe preeclampsia was the most prevalent hypertensive disorder in these women, with 69 (34.2%) developing eclampsia. We found that 79% (161/202) of these patients suffered from anxiety, 67.3% (136/202) were depressive while 61.3% (124/202) had both anxiety and depression.Conclusions: The prevalence of perinatal anxiety and depression in women with hypertensive pregnancy disorders is high. Associated factors must be looked out in order to prevent these situations.

“…These predictors include, young (Goossens et al, 2015) and single motherhood (Rousou et al, 2013), poor quality partner relationships (Akincigil et al, 2010, Schmied et al, 2013, O'Hara and Wisner, 2014, Norhayati et al, 2015, Yim et al, 2015, low levels of social support (Norhayati et al, 2015, O'Hara and Wisner, 2014, Ross and Dennis, 2009), socio-economic disadvantage (O'Hara andWisner, 2014, Beck, 2001) and stressful life events (Norhayati et al, 2015, Yim et al, 2015, Meijer et al, 2014. Also, from studies of differing methodologies, indicators of substance misuse (Ross and Dennis, 2009) and poor physical health (Wang et al, 2016) predicted women's poor psychological status. As well, having a family (Stuart-Parrigon and Stuart, 2014) or personal (Robertson et al, 2004) history of poor mental health was found to be associated with postnatal depression.…”

“…Firm evidence points to comorbidity of substanceuse and mental health disorders (Whiteford et al, 2013). This comorbidity has been identified also in pregnant populations with a systematic review (consisting of 17 papers using standardised depression assessment between three and 52 week postnatal) which found women with substance use disorders also experienced higher rates of postnatal depression (Ross and Dennis, 2009). To what extent then are women who are affected by both substance use and mental health impairment at risk of ongoing, adverse consequences to their mental health over time?…”

“…These concerns are heightened by studies suggesting that depression in the postnatal period was relatively common (Leung et al, 2005, Buist et al, 2008, Kaaya et al, 2010. The findings from studies which looked at the correlates and predictors of depression in the postnatal period suggest four primary categories, of sociodemographic characteristics (Beck, 2001, Rousou et al, 2013, Goossens et al, 2015, psychosocial adversity (Akincigil et al, 2010, Meijer et al, 2014, Norhayati et al, 2015, family or personal history of mental illness (Stuart-Parrigon andStuart, 2014, Robertson et al, 2004) and health and lifestyle factors (Wang et al, 2016, Ross andDennis, 2009). Few studies have considered whether pregnancy or birth outcomes predict depression in the postnatal period.…”

Women’s mental health following the birth of a child: a life course approach

Does the experience of being pregnant, giving birth and becoming a mother affect women's mental health over their reproductive life course? Much of the research on maternal mental health has focused on the perinatal period. In recent times, research has extended to patterns of women's mental health over the years following the birth of their baby. In this thesis, associations between women's experiences around pregnancy and giving birth, and patterns of their mental health impairment in the years following the baby's birth, are examined.Participants: Three datasets were used for this thesis. The primary dataset was the Mater and Methods: Six studies are the core contribution of this body of research. These studies, five cohort studies and one cross-sectional study, addressed the thesis' aims and objectives.Studies' outcome measures generally related to women's mental health, rated by the Delusions-Symptoms-States-Inventory: state of Anxiety and Depression (DSSI/sAD) (Bedford et al., 1976) and assessed at time-points post-birth. In three studies, women's DSSI depression measures at various time-points were combined to create depressive-symptoms trajectories. The Mental Disorder Screening Tool (MDST), constructed from women's DSSI/sAD responses (Saiepour et al., 2014) and measuring mental health impairment, was an outcome measure for one study. Another study's outcomes were based on women's reported alcohol consumption before pregnancy and at their first clinic visit. A broad range of predictor and potential confounding variables, taken at different MUSP survey phases, were included in the studies' analyses. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used. Univariate and multivariable regression analysis derived odds ratios and relative risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Pregnancy and birth events were found to contribute little to women's experience of depression. Pregnant women who experienced stressful life events (that is, financial, housing and relational events), were at higher risk of having depressive symptoms over the 27-year period. The proportion of women with mental health impairment was higher at 21 years post birth than at six months post birth. Women whose offspring had behaviour problems were themselves at risk of mental health impairment at 21 years post birth. As well, mental health problems in pregnancy; young motherhood; not completing high school and low family income; and having poor social networks around baby's birth, and marital discord in pregnancy, predicted women's poorer mental health over time. Today's pregnant women are more likely to be older and have higher body mass indexes, more likely to be anxious but not depressed, and more are sure about wanting to be pregnant, compared to pregnant women from previous decades. Today's pregnant women are also less likely to be smokers but are more often consuming alcohol prior to pregnancy, though they substantially reduce their alcohol consumption in pregnancy. Socio-economic disadvantage and psychosocial problems in pregnancy ...
