Elevation of these symptom domains have the potential for serious consequences for mothers including suicide (Holmstrand et al 2006), loss of infant custody (Minnes et al 2008) and increased rates of domestic violence (Nixon et al 2004;Stuart et al 2006). High rates of maternal psychopathology pose threats to infant well-being as well.…”
