Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how maternal and paternal depression and anxiety during pregnancy and after childbirth affect infant development, highlighting that fewer studies have focused on fathers and both mental health symptoms and diagnoses together.*
-
- Researchers analyzed data from over 2,300 participants and found that maternal symptoms of depression and anxiety during and shortly after pregnancy were linked to poorer infant social-emotional and language development, but no links were found between these issues in fathers and infant outcomes.*
-
- The findings suggest small but significant effects of maternal mental health on infant development, emphasizing the need for early screening and interventions to support new parents and promote better outcomes for infants.*
