Bidirectional associations between maternal and paternal depressive symptoms across the postpartum period: Contributions of maternal prenatal depression and childhood neglect / Megan HARE in Development and Psychopathology, 38-4 (October 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 38-4 (October 2026) . - p.1783-1796 Titre : Bidirectional associations between maternal and paternal depressive symptoms across the postpartum period: Contributions of maternal prenatal depression and childhood neglect Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Megan HARE, Auteur ; Kathryn HUMPHREYS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1783-1796 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : depression  fathers  mothers  neglect  peripartum Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health problem. Although maternal PPD has received more attention, less is known about paternal PPD and how parents’ depressive symptoms influence one another over time. The present study investigated longitudinal patterns of maternal and paternal depressive symptoms during the first 18 months postpartum using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model in 119 mothers (Mage = 31.15, 89% White, 93% non-Hispanic, 91% married) and fathers (Mage = 32.74), while also considering the role of maternal prenatal depression and maternal childhood neglect. Results indicated strong autoregressive stability for maternal depressive symptoms across all time points (β = 0.24–0.61), whereas paternal symptoms showed less consistency, with stability emerging later. Our results revealed a bidirectional effect, where maternal symptoms at 1 month (β = 0.35) predicted paternal symptoms at 6 months (β = 0.26), which in turn predicted maternal symptoms at 12 months (β = 0.28). Additionally maternal emotional (β = 0.33) and physical neglect (β = 0.18) were associated with higher maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy, and emotional neglect (β = 0.35), uniquely predicted higher maternal depressive symptoms at 1 month postpartum. These findings highlight the interconnected nature of parental depressive symptoms and the lasting impact of maternal neglect on early postpartum mental health.

Long-term cardiometabolic effects of early institutionalization and foster care: Evidence from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project / Michelle M. J. MENS in Development and Psychopathology, 38-4 (October 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 38-4 (October 2026) . - p.1707-1718 Titre : Long-term cardiometabolic effects of early institutionalization and foster care: Evidence from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michelle M.

Using data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project – a randomized longitudinal study of children institutionalized in infancy assigned to high-quality foster care, continued institutional care, or raised by biological families – we examined cardiometabolic outcomes in early adulthood. Participants were 81 women and 58 men (mean age 22.6 years), predominantly Romanian. We assessed associations between care type and cardiometabolic traits including blood pressure, lipid and glucose metabolism, and metabolic syndrome. Results indicated that adults with histories of institutionalization displayed poorer lipid metabolism compared to non-institutionalized controls. Notably, individuals randomized to foster care showed increased BMI and waist circumference in adulthood relative to those who remained in institutional care. Longitudinal latent class analyses revealed four distinct BMI trajectories from infancy to early adulthood. The accelerated BMI trajectory, predominantly comprising foster care participants, was associated with the greatest prevalence of metabolic syndrome. These findings suggest that both lipid dysregulation and persistent increases in BMI represent ongoing concerns for cardiometabolic risk following early psychosocial deprivation. Those exposed to early adverse care may benefit from ongoing cardiometabolic monitoring and lifestyle interventions.

Practitioner Review: Infant mental health meets cell and molecular biology – a look to the future / Charles H. ZEANAH in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-7 (July 2026) . - p.1190-1202 Titre : Practitioner Review: Infant mental health meets cell and molecular biology – a look to the future Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles H. ZEANAH, Auteur ; Megan HARE, Auteur ; Katherine COWHEY, Auteur ; Stacy S. DRURY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1190-1202 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early life experience  biology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background A major research effort in the past two decades has begun to illuminate how experience ?gets under the skin? ? that is ? the cellular and molecular processes that are associated with adversity and resilience. Methods We selectively review three areas of this research: epigenetics, especially DNA methylation, telomere length, and inflammatory processes, and consider the implications of this work for better understanding the effects of adversity and pathways of recovery. Results Because infant mental health practitioners focus on children in the earliest years of life, they are well positioned to favorably alter the developmental trajectories of children experiencing or at risk for maladaptation. In addition to helping us develop more individually effective treatments, we consider other ways in which research advances in cell and molecular biology may be especially important to infant mental health practitioners in the future. Conclusions Better understanding these processes will enhance effectiveness and potentially enlarge the scope of our practice.
