Titre : Antepartum and postpartum exposure to maternal depression: different effects on different adolescent outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dale F. HAY, Auteur ; Susan PAWLBY, Auteur ; Cerith S. WATERS, Auteur ; Deborah SHARP, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1079-1088 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Postpartum-depression antepartum-depression maternal-anxiety adolescent-psychopathology IQ disruptive-behaviour perinatal-emotional-disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is considered a major public health problem that conveys risk to mothers and offspring. Yet PPD typically occurs in the context of a lifelong episodic illness, and its putative effects might derive from the child's exposure to other episodes, in pregnancy or later childhood. The aim of the study is to test two hypotheses: (1) that the effects of PPD on adolescent outcomes are partly explained by antepartum depression (APD) and (2) that the effects of APD and PPD are both explained by later exposure to the mother's depression.
Method: A random sample of 178 antenatal patients was drawn from two general medical practices in South London; 171 gave birth to live infants, and 150 (88%) were assessed at 3 months post partum, with 121 of their offspring (81%) assessed for emotional disorders (ED), disruptive behaviour disorders (DBD) and IQ, at 11 and 16 years of age.
Results: When APD and subsequent episodes of depression were taken into account, PPD had a significant effect on adolescent IQ, especially for boys, but did not predict psychopathology. ED and DBD in adolescence were predicted by the extent of exposure to maternal depression after 3 months post partum; a significant effect of APD on ED in girls was accounted for by later exposure to the mother's illness. Mothers' symptoms of anxiety, smoking and alcohol use in pregnancy did not predict adolescent outcomes, once maternal depression was taken into account.
Conclusions: Some effects attributed to mothers' mental health problems in pregnancy or post partum may be mediated by cumulative exposure to maternal illness, probably reflecting genetic influence and gene–environment correlation. However, PPD has a direct effect on cognition. Clinicians should endeavour to identify women with depression in pregnancy (31% of this sample) and help them to manage their lifelong illness.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2008.01959.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=607

Titre : Does mothers’ postnatal depression influence the development of imitation? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Oliver PERRA, Auteur ; Rebecca PHILLIPS, Auteur ; Rhiannon FYFIELD, Auteur ; Cerith S. WATERS, Auteur ; Dale F. HAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1231-1238 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Learning infancy postnatal maternal depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Links between mothers’ postnatal depression (PND) and children's cognition have been identified in several samples, but the evidence is inconsistent. We hypothesized that PND may specifically interfere with infants’ imitation, an early learning ability that features in early mother–infant interaction and is linked to memory, causal understanding and joint attention. Methods A randomly controlled experiment on imitation was embedded into a longitudinal study of a representative sample of firstborn British infants, whose mothers were assessed for depression using the SCAN interview during pregnancy and at 6 months postpartum. At a mean of 12.8 months, 253 infants were presented with two imitation tasks that varied in difficulty, in counterbalanced order. Results The infants of mothers who experienced PND were significantly less likely than other infants in the sample to imitate the modelled actions, showing a 72% reduction in the likelihood of imitation. The association with PND was not explained by sociodemographic adversity, or a history of depression during pregnancy or prior to conception. Mothers’ references to infants’ internal states during mother–infant interaction at 6 months facilitated imitation at 12 months, but did not explain the link with PND. Conclusions The findings support the hypothesis that associations between PND and later cognitive outcomes may partly derive from effects of the mother's illness on infants’ early learning abilities. Support for infants’ learning should be considered as an age-appropriate, child-focused component of interventions designed to ameliorate the effects of PND.
