In the first study, prenatal depression, anxiety, dietary problems and post-traumatic acute stress disorder (PTSD) were evaluated.
The researchers stressed that although the key issue of this study is prenatal depression, another issue needs further study. For example, drugs used by mothers are harmful to babies or babies.
However, Howard, a leading researcher and expert professor at King's College London, said that many prenatal psychological problems can be treated reasonably, and the risk of not treating mothers and children is likely to be higher than that of treatment.
The delivery of pregnant women is likely to cause moderate and severe psychological problems.
The second study discusses the psychological problems of pregnant women during childbirth, such as mania, severe depression, mental illness and so on.
The main researcher, Professor Jones from Cardiff University, shows that it is very important to further study children's psychological problems, which is conducive to the prediction and analysis of high-risk women and the product development of zero-risk treatment methods for mothers and children.
Researchers believe that the key risk factor of women's death after giving birth in high-income countries is the tendency to commit suicide after giving birth. In view of this, it is suggested that women with moderate or severe mental history should be given psychological counseling and appropriate medical care before and after pregnancy.
Relationship between infant development and mother's physical and mental health problems
The third study discussed the relationship between the physical and mental health problems of mothers and the psychological problems of low birth weight infants, premature infants and postpartum.
The main researcher, Professor Stein from Oxford University, stressed that it is not inevitable that prenatal physical and mental health problems will have a negative impact on future generations, and early detection and intervention are crucial.
The original text emphasizes that the relationship between the baby's development and psychological problems before delivery is very complicated, and there is still a lack of in-depth understanding. Researchers suggest that a lot of research should be carried out closely around how to formulate appropriate intervention countermeasures, especially in China, where there are many middle-and low-income people.
In addition, researchers also participated in Dad's depression, which proved to be more widespread than expected.
