“…A recent study has shown that adolescents with a major depressive episode were inclined to report higher levels of emotional abuse and neglect (Gander, Sevecke, & Buchheim, 2018). Unlike prior studies (Lindert et al, 2014, Yildiz Inanici et al, 2017), our study found that physical abuse was not significantly associated with increased risk of depression. Through multiple regression analysis, the present findings revealed that depression scores were significantly predicted by gender, duration of drug use, sexual abuse and emotional neglect.…”

Background/Objective Previous studies have shown that childhood abuse is associated with symptoms of depression. This study aims to examine the prevalence of childhood abuse or neglect and its correlation with depression among a sample of Chinese people who use methamphetamine. Method People who use methamphetamine (MA) ( N = 1,173) were recruited from government-operated drug rehabilitation centres in Anhui province, China. Participants were assessed using the short form of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II for childhood abuse or neglect and depression symptoms. Results A total of 44.6% of people who use MA reported moderate/severe childhood abuse or neglect, and 56.9% of this sample were diagnosed with depression. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect were revealed to increase the risk of depression. Multivariable regression analyses showed that depression scores were significantly predicted by gender, duration of drug use, sexual abuse and emotional neglect (model R 2 = .08, p < .001). The interaction between emotional neglect and duration of drug use on the depression was statistically significant. Conclusions These analyses indicate that sexual abuse and emotional neglect increase the severity of depression in individuals who use MA in drug rehabilitation centres of China.

“…Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016) such as maltreatment and domestic violence can have lasting effects on neurobiological development and psychological outcomes across multiple stages of development (Anda et al, 2006; Danese & McEwen, 2012; Neigh, Gillespie, & Nemeroff, 2009). Emerging evidence guided by a life span model of pregnancy health (Misra, Guyer, & Allston, 2003) suggests that women with histories of adversity may be particularly vulnerable to emotional distress during pregnancy, including prenatal depression and anxiety (Madigan et al, 2014; Yildiz Inanici, Inanici, & Yoldemir, 2017). Given that emotional distress during pregnancy is linked to impairments in multiple domains of infant development (Dunkel Schetter & Tanner, 2012; Glynn et al, 2018), understanding the conditions by which maternal history of adversity impacts emotional health during pregnancy is critical to preventing adverse perinatal and postnatal outcomes for mothers and their children (Sara & Lappin, 2017).…”

Emotional distress during pregnancy is likely influenced by both maternal history of adversity and concurrent prenatal stressors, but prospective longitudinal studies are lacking. Guided by a life span model of pregnancy health and stress sensitization theories, this study investigated the influence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy on the association between childhood adversity and prenatal emotional distress. Participants included an urban, community-based sample of 200 pregnant women (aged 18–24) assessed annually from ages 8 to 17 for a range of adversity domains, including traumatic violence, harsh parenting, caregiver loss, and compromised parenting. Models tested both linear and nonlinear effects of adversity as well as their interactions with IPV on prenatal anxiety and depression symptoms, controlling for potential confounds such as poverty and childhood anxiety and depression. Results showed that the associations between childhood adversity and pregnancy emotional distress were moderated by prenatal IPV, supporting a life span conceptualization of pregnancy health. Patterns of interactions were nonlinear, consistent with theories conceptualizing stress sensitization through an “adaptive calibration” lens. Furthermore, results diverged based on adversity subdomain and type of prenatal IPV (physical vs. emotional abuse). Findings are discussed in the context of existing stress sensitization theories and highlight important avenues for future research and practice.

“…Postpartum depression may also affect women's parenting functioning and couples' relationships [32]. The potential link between a history of abuse and maternal depression during pregnancy has been less investigated [33] despite evidence suggesting that prenatal depression and postpartum depression may have similar negative effects and that pregnant women with a history of early traumatic experiences can manifest severe depression symptoms [34,35]. Further, as evidenced in some studies, almost 50% of women experience continued prenatal depression in the postnatal period [36,37].…”

The perinatal period may represent a particularly challenging time for expecting parents. Previous studies have highlighted an association between several perinatal risk conditions (e.g., childhood maltreatment, poor social support, and stress levels) and the development of psychopathological symptoms in pregnant women, especially depression symptoms. The current study examined the effects of psychosocial risk factors (childhood maltreatment, poor social support, and stressful events) on anxiety, depression, perceived stress, irritability/anger, relationship problems, psychosomatic symptoms, specific physiological problems, and addiction/at-risk behaviors. Sixty-one pregnant women (age range = 24–45) participating in a larger study completed questionnaires about childhood maltreatment (CECA Q.), Maternity Social Support Scale (MSSS), questionnaire on stressful events, and the Perinatal Assessment of Maternal Affectivity (PAMA) during their pregnancy. Results from regression analysis indicated that the presence of childhood maltreatment predicted elevated depressive symptoms, elevated irritability and anger, and elevated relationship problems. Further, stressful events in the year prior to pregnancy predicted elevated psychosomatic symptoms during pregnancy. No other significant associations were found. In this study, traumatic childhood events were strongly associated with mental health symptoms during pregnancy. This is an important finding that suggests the importance of screening and targeting psychotherapeutic interventions for vulnerable women during pregnancy.
