“…It affects 10–20% of new mothers within 1 year following delivery and deeply impacts maternal life quality as well as being a risk factor for maternal suicide . Further, PDS has a negative impact on family relationships including marital and maternal‐infant interactions, with resultant poorer physiologic and psychological health of the offspring . Consequently, PDS has been extensively investigated with a view to both treatment and prevention.…”

“…[1][2][3] Further, PDS has a negative impact on family relationships including marital and maternal-infant interactions, with resultant poorer physiologic and psychological health of the offspring. [4][5][6] Consequently, PDS has been extensively investigated with a view to both treatment and prevention. A number of studies show PDS to be commonly linked to stress in the perinatal period, lower income/socioeconomic status, lack of social support, and genetic risk factors as well as other psychological and social susceptibility factors.…”

Objectives Few studies have investigated the prophylactic efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in postpartum depressive symptoms (PDS). A randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether the administration of DEX, immediately after delivery and for patient‐controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), can attenuate PDS. Methods A total of 600 parturients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated into the control group (infusion with 0.9% normal saline after delivery and PCIA with sufentanil) and the DEX group (DEX infusion 0.5 μg/kg after delivery and PCIA with DEX plus sufentanil). The prevalence of postpartum depressive disorders was indicated by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Postoperative analgesia, sedation, and sleep quality of parturients were also assessed. Results Postpartum blues and PDS prevalence in the DEX, versus control, group were significantly lower (5.0% vs 14.1%, p<0.001; 5.7% vs 16.3%, p<0.001, respectively), especially in parturients with antenatal depression or moderate stress during pregnancy. Compared with the control group, the EPDS score at postpartum days 7 and 42 in the DEX group was significantly lower (4.23 ± 4.37 vs 1.93 ± 3.36, p<0.001; 4.68 ± 4.78 vs 1.99 ± 3.18, p<0.001, respectively), as was the incidence of postpartum self‐harm ideation at postpartum days 7 and 42 in the DEX group versus the control group (1.1% vs 4.0%, p=0.03; 0.4% vs 2.9%, p=0.04, respectively). The pain score and the sleep quality in the DEX group were better than that in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion The application of DEX in the early postpartum period can significantly attenuate the incidence of postpartum depressive disorders.

“…Another cohort study conducted in Australia by Matthey, Barnett, Ungerer, and Waters (2000) has reported a prevalence of PND-F between 2.8 and 5.3%. Recently, a meta-analysis conducted by Cameron et al (2016) has reported an average prevalence rate of paternal pre-and postpartum depression of 8%; in some countries and samples, however, paternal postpartum depression prevalence may reach considerably higher rates (e.g., 25%: Soliday, McCluskey-Fawcett, & O'Brien, 1999;17%: Suto et al, 2016), highlighting the need to assess and support fathers during the postnatal period. A growing body of research has linked PND-F to an increased risk of children developing emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems (Ballard, Davis, Cullen, Mohan, & Dean, 1994;Davé, Sherr, Senior, & Nazareth, 2008;Fletcher, Feeman, Garfield, & Vimpani, 2011;Matthey et al, 2000;Murray & Cooper, 1997;Narayanan, M.

Effects of male postpartum depression on father–infant interaction: The mediating role of face processing

It is estimated that postpartum depression affects up to 25% of men. Despite such high prevalence, the majority of studies on postpartum depression are focused on mothers, and the role of paternal depression and its effects on infant development have been overlooked by researchers and clinicians. The present study aimed to fill this gap by investigating the effect of paternal postpartum depression on father–infant interactions. In addition, we examined whether differences in face recognition mediated the effects of paternal postpartum depression on father–infant interactions. A total of 61 father–infant dyads (17 postpartum depression, 44 controls) took part in the study. Results revealed that compared to controls, fathers with postpartum depression had a worse pattern of interaction with their infants on measures of responsiveness, mood, and sensitivity; they also had greater difficulty in recognizing happy adult faces, but greater facility in recognizing sad adult faces. Depressed fathers attributed greater intensities to sad adult and infant faces. The tendency to attribute greater intensity to sad adult faces was confirmed as a partial mediator of the effect of paternal postpartum depression on measures of father responsiveness and as a full mediator of the effects of paternal depression on father sensitivity. Clinical implications and suggestions for further studies are discussed.

“…Poor mental health, especially depression, is a well-recognized and regularly assessed public health problem among pregnant and postpartum women (Ammerman, Putnam, Bosse, Teeters, & Van Ginkel, 2010). Men, like women, need to be screened for mental health problems and have formal supports during the prenatal or postnatal periods (Cameron, Sedov, & Tomfohr-Madsen, 2016;Leach et al, 2016;Yogman & Garfield, 2016).…”
