Nonpsychotic postpartum depression among adolescent mothers.

Abstract

This study examined the extent to which childbearing increases vulnerability to clinical depression and depressive symptomatology among primiparous adolescent girls (ages 14 to 18). Childbearing Ss (n = 128) were assessed during pregnancy, 6 weeks postpartum, and 1 year postpartum. Matched nonchildbearing Ss (n = 114) were assessed at corresponding time points. Six weeks postpartum, 6% of the childbearing adolescents met Research Diagnostic Criteria for major depression and 20% for minor depression. These rates were not significantly different from those found for nonchildbearing Ss (4% major depression, 10% minor depression). However, higher rates of somatic symptoms of depression were found among the childbearing Ss than among the nonchildbearing Ss.

Actualización en depresión postparto: el desafío permanente de optimizar su detección y abordaje

“…En este punto mantuvo el mismo criterio de tiempo, lo que ha generado cuestionamientos, ya que, para efectos clínicos y de investigación, el período de riesgo puede ampliarse a los tres meses del parto 4 . La prevalencia mundial de DPP a lo largo de la vida fluctúa entre 10 y 20% 4,5 , observándose mayores valores en madres adolescentes (26%) 6 y en los niveles socioeconómicos más bajos (38,2%) 7 . Un estudio antropológico publicado a fines de la década 1980-89 sugirió que la DPP era prácticamente inexistente en China, debido a una mayor atención dirigida a la mujer y a las adecuadas redes de apoyo familiar.…”

“…This is not only because of its high rate, but also because of its association with social exclusion, lower social class, and lower educational attainment in mothers (e.g., Coley & Chase-Lansdale, 1998;Figueiredo, Pacheco, & Magarinho, 2005;Pacheco, Costa, & Figueiredo, 2003;Social Exclusion Unit UK, 1999;Stevens-Simon & McAnarney, 1996). It is also highly associated with mothers' depression (Deal & Holtz, 1998;Hudson, Elek, & Campbell-Grossman, 2000;Leadbeater & Linares, 1992;Prodromidis, Abrams, Field, Scafidi, & Rahdert, 1994;Troutman & Cutrona, 1990) and with subsequent poor parenting of the child (e.g., Barnard, Osofsky, Beckwith, Hammond, & Appelbaum, 1996;Hann, Osofsky, & Culp, 1996), including child maltreatment and neglect (e.g., Baranowski, Schilmoeller, & Higgins, 1990;Brown, Cohen, Johnson, & Salzinger, 1998;Zuravin & DiBlasio, 1996). In terms of prevalence, the highest European fertility rates between the ages of 15 and 19 are in the UK (0.023) followed by Portugal women with poor early relationships tend to have less satisfaction and perceive lower availability of partner's support, which in turn increase vulnerability for depression during the transition to parenthood (e.g., .…”
