“…Postpartum depressive disorders are among the most frequent psychiatric manifestations observed in women after childbirth [25], with various symptoms and severity in the spectrum from postpartum baby blues (depressed mood that occurs immediately after childbirth and that usually goes away in 3 to 5 days, with a prevalence of 30-75% [26]) to postpartum depression (PPD, a serious mental illness that involves a complex mix of physical, emotional, and behavioural changes happening to puerpera and that does not go away for longer than 2 weeks [27,28], affecting 10-20% of mothers worldwide [25,29]). There is a global consensus that postpartum depressive disorders exert negative short-and long-term effects on the establishment of motherhood, child development, and family wellbeing [30][31][32][33] and may lead to tragic consequences.…”

Background: The mental health of pregnant women, particularly those with elevated risks, has been an issue of global concern. Thus far, few studies have addressed the mental health of pregnant women with threatened preterm labour (TPL). This study investigated the prevalence of self-perceived burden (SPB) among Chinese women hospitalized due to TPL during pregnancy and early postpartum depressive disorders, exploring the effect of SPB and other potential risk factors on the early signs of postpartum depressive disorders. Methods: A self-reported survey was conducted in the obstetrics department of Anhui Provincial Hospital, China. Women hospitalized with TPL were approached 1 week after delivery. One hundred fifty women were recruited from January 2017 to December 2017. The Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were the main measures. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlations, and a multiple logistic regression were employed for data analysis.

“…The secondary outcome measures cover the following domains—behavioural attention (inattention and hyperactivity), working memory, social cognition and numeracy—and have been included to assess whether far transfer occurs as a result of the intervention 27 36 37. The predictor measures cover the domains of sleep, intrinsic motivation, family relationships, mental health and social cognition (parent report) 15 17 38–43. Predictor measures were selected because they have been linked to cognitive development in children and may influence the efficacy of the intervention 38–43…”

Training attention in children with acquired brain injury: a study protocol of a randomised controlled trial of the TALI attention training programme

et al. 2019

IntroductionChildhood inattention has been linked with poor academic outcomes, and increased lifetime social, occupational and psychiatric morbidity. Children with an acquired brain injury (ABI) are particularly susceptible to attention deficits and may benefit from interventions aimed at enhancing attention. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the short-term efficacy of the TALI Train programme, compared with a placebo, on the outcome of attention in children with ABI.Methods and analysisThe study is a parallel, double-blind, randomised controlled trial. Participants will consist of 80 children with a diagnosis of ABI aged 4–9 years 11 months. Participants will be randomly allocated to either (1) TALI Train (intervention group), an adaptive game-based attention training programme, or (2) a non-adaptive placebo programme (control group). Both programmes are delivered on a touchscreen tablet, and children complete five 20 min sessions per week for a 5-week period at home. Assessment of selective, sustained and executive attention (primary outcomes), and behavioural attention, working memory, social skills and mathematics ability (secondary outcomes) will occur at baseline, post-training, and at 3-month and 6-month follow-up to assess immediate and long-term efficacy of TALI Train compared with placebo. Assessments will be completed at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. All assessments and analyses will be undertaken by researchers blinded to group membership. Latent growth curve modelling will be employed to examine primary and secondary outcomes.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval has been obtained from the Royal Children’s Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) (38132) and the Monash University HREC (17446). Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations, media outlets, the internet and various community/stakeholder activities.Trial registration numberACTRN12619000511134.

“…More importantly, they pale in comparison to the effects of maternal mental illness, which are still being articulated fully but include poorer fetal outcomes 25 , long-term effects on child behavior 26 and cognition 27 , and maternal self-harm, the last of which recently was again shown to be the most common cause of death in a population of perinatal women 28 . Less information is available on perinatal use of other classes of psychotropics, including mood stabilizers and antipsychotics.…”

Recent advances in understanding maternal perinatal mood disorders

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study of perinatal mental health (mental health during pregnancy and postpartum) is a complex field of study that is of major importance both for the mental and physical health of new mothers and for the neurobehavioral development and long-term functioning of the children they bear. In this review, we cover the most recent additions to this rapidly evolving field. Notable advances include further illumination of the epidemiological patterns and clinical manifestations of perinatal mood disruption; new efficacy data on treatment and prevention; clarifications of the respective contributions of maternal mental illness and psychotropic medication to outcomes of pregnancy, birth, and child development; and updated expert guidelines for screening.

The Long-Term Effects of Maternal Postnatal Depression on a Child’s Intelligence Quotient

Abstract: Maternal PND may be a risk factor for a child's lower IQ. More studies of high methodological quality may be needed.
