Discusses the problems of adolescent pregnancy and maternity in young age. Presents the sociohygienic characteristics of young mothers and their parents. Shows that the problem of young maternity became typical for complete and seemingly successful families in the majority of cases. Pays special attention to difficulties (material, communal, psychological, etc.) experienced by adolescent girls becoming mothers before they are 18. Validates the necessity of developing and introducing addressed programs of medicosocial support of young mothers and adolescent families, which should be aimed at the soonest possible solution of acute vital problems (communal, psychological, economic, medical (including contraception), those associated with completion of education, etc.).

Background And Objectives: Peripartum mood and anxiety disorders constitute the most frequent form of maternal morbidity in the general population, but little is known about peripartum mental illness in mothers with multiple sclerosis (MS). We compared the incidence and prevalence of peripartum mental illness among mothers with MS, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diabetes and women without these conditions.
Methods: Using linked population-based administrative health data from ON, Canada, we conducted a cohort study of mothers with MS, epilepsy, IBD, and diabetes and without these diseases (comparators) who had a live birth with index dates, defined as 1 year before conception, between 2002 and 2017.
